ipx: remove the BKL
This replaces all instances of lock_kernel in the IPX code with lock_sock. As far as I can tell, this is safe to do, because there is no global state that needs to be locked in IPX, and the code does not recursively take the lock or sleep indefinitely while holding it. Compile-tested only. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Acked-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net> Cc: netdev@vger.kernel.org
