fcntl: fix potential deadlocks for &fown_struct.lock

Syzbot reports a potential deadlock in do_fcntl:

========================================================
WARNING: possible irq lock inversion dependency detected
5.12.0-syzkaller #0 Not tainted
--------------------------------------------------------
syz-executor132/8391 just changed the state of lock:
ffff888015967bf8 (&f->f_owner.lock){.+..}-{2:2}, at: f_getown_ex fs/fcntl.c:211 [inline]
ffff888015967bf8 (&f->f_owner.lock){.+..}-{2:2}, at: do_fcntl+0x8b4/0x1200 fs/fcntl.c:395
but this lock was taken by another, HARDIRQ-safe lock in the past:
 (&dev->event_lock){-...}-{2:2}

and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them.

other info that might help us debug this:
Chain exists of:
  &dev->event_lock --> &new->fa_lock --> &f->f_owner.lock

 Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&f->f_owner.lock);
                               local_irq_disable();
                               lock(&dev->event_lock);
                               lock(&new->fa_lock);
  <Interrupt>
    lock(&dev->event_lock);

 *** DEADLOCK ***

This happens because there is a lock hierarchy of
&dev->event_lock --> &new->fa_lock --> &f->f_owner.lock
from the following call chain:

  input_inject_event():
    spin_lock_irqsave(&dev->event_lock,...);
    input_handle_event():
      input_pass_values():
        input_to_handler():
          evdev_events():
            evdev_pass_values():
              spin_lock(&client->buffer_lock);
              __pass_event():
                kill_fasync():
                  kill_fasync_rcu():
                    read_lock(&fa->fa_lock);
                    send_sigio():
                      read_lock_irqsave(&fown->lock,...);

However, since &dev->event_lock is HARDIRQ-safe, interrupts have to be
disabled while grabbing &f->f_owner.lock, otherwise we invert the lock
hierarchy.

Hence, we replace calls to read_lock/read_unlock on &f->f_owner.lock,
with read_lock_irq/read_unlock_irq.
