Vishwanathapura, Niranjana a379d69f00 IB/opa_vnic: Use spinlock instead of mutex for stats_lock
Stats can be read from atomic context, hence make stats_lock as
a spinlock.

Fix the following trace with debug kernel.

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at
kernel/locking/mutex.c:238

============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
