From: Ursula Braun <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

An iucv deadlock may occur, where one CPU is spinning on the
iucv_table_lock for iucv_tasklet_fn(), while another CPU is holding
the iucv_table_lock for an iucv_path_connect() and is waiting for
the first CPU in an smp_call_function.
Solution: replace spin_lock in iucv_tasklet_fn by spin_trylock and
reschedule tasklet in case of non-granted lock.
