carma-fpga: fix race between data dumping and DMA callback
When the system is under heavy load, we occasionally saw a problem where the system would get a legitimate interrupt when they should be disabled. This was caused by the data_dma_cb() DMA callback unconditionally re-enabling FPGA interrupts even when data dumping is disabled. When data dumping was re-enabled, the irq handler would fire while a DMA was in progress. The "BUG_ON(priv->inflight != NULL);" during the second invocation of the DMA callback caused the system to crash. To fix the issue, the priv->enabled boolean is moved under the protection of the priv->lock spinlock. The DMA callback checks the boolean to know whether to re-enable FPGA interrupts before it returns. Now that it is fixed, the driver keeps FPGA interrupts disabled when it expects that they are disabled, fixing the bug. Signed-off-by: Ira W.
