HID: intel_ish-hid: clarify locking in client code
I was trying to understand this code while working on a warning fix and the locking made no sense: spin_lock_irqsave() is pointless when run inside of an interrupt handler or nested inside of another spin_lock_irq() or spin_lock_irqsave(). Here it turned out that the comment above the function is wrong, as both recv_ishtp_cl_msg_dma() and recv_ishtp_cl_msg() can in fact be called from a work queue rather than an ISR, so we do have to use the irqsave() version once. This fixes the comments accordingly, removes the misleading 'dev_flags' variable and modifies the inner spinlock to not use 'irqsave'. No functional change is intended, this is just for readability and it slightly simplifies the object code.
