vortex_ioctl() was grabbing vortex_private::lock around its call to generic_mii_ioctl(). This is no longer necessary since there are more specific locks which the mdio_{read,write}() functions will obtain. Worse, those functions do not save and restore IRQ flags when locking the MII state, so interrupts will be enabled when generic_mii_ioctl() returns. Since there is currently no need for any function to call mdio_{read,write}() while holding another spinlock, do not change them to save and restore IRQ flags but remove the specification of ordering between vortex_private::lock and vortex_private::mii_lock.
