Subject: [PATCH] [Natty SRU] UBUNTU: SAUCE: fix yama_ptracer_del lockdep warning(v1)

yama_ptracer_del can be called in softirq context, so
ptracer_relations_lock may be held in softirq context.

This patch replaces spin_[un]lock with spin_[un]lock_bh for
&ptracer_relations_lock to fix reported lockdep warning and
avoid possible dealock.

SRU Justification:

Impact:
	- lockdep warning is triggered if lockdep config options are
	  enabled
	- probably deadlock can be produced in yama_ptracer_del path

Fix:
	- After applying the patch, lockdep warning is fixefd

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/791019
