There are in-tree users of refcount_dec_and_lock() which must acquire the spin lock with interrupts disabled. To workaround the lack of an irqsave variant of refcount_dec_and_lock() they use local_irq_save() at the call site. This causes extra code and creates in some places unneeded long interrupt disabled times. These places need also extra treatment for PREEMPT_RT due to the disconnect of the irq disabling and the lock function. Implement the missing irqsave variant of the function.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
