[PATCH] fix AB-BA deadlock inversion at cs46xx_dsp_remove_scb

There is a code sequence where the locking is substream->self_group.lock
-> ins->scbs[index].lock

substream->self_group.lock is interrupt safe, and taken from irq context
as well (trace is snipped for brevity)

so what can happen is

   cpu 0                   	cpu 1
   user context			user context

				take ins->scbs[index].lock without disabling interrupts

   get substream->self_group.lock (irqsafe)
   try to get ins->scbs[index].lock (spins)

				interrupt happens
				try to get substream->self_group.lock (spins)

which is an obvious AB-BA deadlock

fix is to just take the lock with _irqsafe
