Existing locking scheme in affinity.c file using the &node_affinity.lock spinlock is not very elegant. We acquire the lock to get hfi1_affinity_node entry, unlock, and then use the entry without the lock held. With more functions being added, which access and modify the entries, this can lead to race conditions. This patch makes this locking scheme more consistent. It changes the spinlock to mutex. Since all the code is executed in a user process context there is no need for a spinlock. This also allows to keep the lock not only while we look up for the node affinity entry, but over the whole section where the entry is being used.
