Where possible we enable interrupts while waiting for a spinlock to become free, in order to reduce big latency spikes in interrupt handling. However, at present if we manage to pick up the spinlock just before blocking, we'll end up holding the lock with interrupts enabled for a while. This will cause a deadlock if we recieve an interrupt in that window, and the interrupt handler tries to take the lock too. Solve this by shrinking the interrupt-enabled region to just around the blocking call.
