ATM: iphase, remove sleep-inside-atomic



Stanse found that ia_init_one locks a spinlock and inside of that it
calls ia_start which calls:
* request_irq
* tx_init which does kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL)

Both of them can thus sleep and result in a deadlock. I don't see a
reason to have a per-device spinlock there which is used only there
and inited right before the lock location. So remove it completely.
