firewire: remove global lock around address handlers, convert to RCU

Upper-layer handlers for inbound requests were called with a spinlock
held by firewire-core.  Calling into upper layers with a lower layer
lock held is generally a bad idea.

What's more, since commit ea102d0ec475 "firewire: core: convert AR-req
handler lock from _irqsave to _bh", a caller of fw_send_request() i.e.
initiator of outbound request could no longer do that while having
interrupts disabled, if the local node was addressed by that request.

In order to make all this more flexible, convert the management of
address ranges and handlers from a global lock around readers and
writers to RCU (and a remaining global lock for writers).  As a minor
side effect, handling of inbound requests at different cards are now no
longer serialized.  (There is still per-card serialization since
firewire-ohci uses a single DMA tasklet for inbound request events.)

In other words, address handlers are now called in an RCU read-side
critical section instead of from within a spin_lock_bh serialized
section.

(Changelog rewritten by Stefan R.)
