firewire: addendum to address handler RCU conversion
Follow up on commit c285f6ff6787 "firewire: remove global lock around address handlers, convert to RCU": - address_handler_lock no longer serializes the address handler, only its function to serialize updates to the list of handlers remains. Rename the lock to address_handler_list_lock. - Callers of fw_core_remove_address_handler() must be able to sleep. Comment on this in the API documentation. - The counterpart fw_core_add_address_handler() is by nature something which is used in process context. Replace spin_lock_bh() by spin_lock() in fw_core_add_address_handler() and in fw_core_remove_address_handler(), and document that process context is now required for fw_core_add_address_handler(). - Extend the documentation of fw_address_callback_t.
