Looking at the code, you are correct that it only fixes one bug. But I
would still include a statement about why there's a change in semantics
here (there still is, the old way enabled interrupts before returning,
this way does not). The reason this is OK, is because the
spin_unlock_irq() is called immediately after this function.
