Well we certainly don't want to do both irq save and preemption
disabling. Really all we need to do is save away the current
flags to restore them them later. On UP systems, we would do that
on each call to this function. On SMP systems, we would actually
test the enable_owner and up the enable_refcnt outside of the
locked section because if spin_trylock_irqsave() returns a 0, we
have restored the irq flags to whatever they were before, and
then we test enable_owner. So I suppose if it was safe on SMP to
test enable_owner and up the refcnt without holding any sort of
lock then it's also safe on UP, because current is a "special"
variable.

Does this ugly hack do the trick? I really dislike the semi-colon
barf, but I fail to see another way out of this right now.
