CVE-2023-53730 blk-iocost: use spin_lock_irqsave in adjust_inuse_and_calc_cost
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

blk-iocost: use spin_lock_irqsave in adjust_inuse_and_calc_cost

adjust_inuse_and_calc_cost() use spin_lock_irq() and IRQ will be enabled
when unlock. DEADLOCK might happen if we have held other locks and disabled
IRQ before invoking it.

Fix it by using spin_lock_irqsave() instead, which can keep IRQ state
consistent with before when unlock.
