No idea if the rest of the patch makes sense, however this usage of
spin_lock_irqsave() is not correct. The second spin_lock_irqsave()
would always save a state with irqs disabled into "flags", and
therefore this path would always be left with irqs disabled,
regardless if irqs were enabled or disabled when entering.

You need to change it to something like
