[PATCH] INPUT: Sanitize PIT locking in pcspkr

[Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>]

The PC-speaker code has a quite creative method to serialize access to
the PIT: It uses a local lock.

On i386 and x86_64 the access to the PIT is serialized by a lock in the
architecture code. The separate locking in the PC-speaker code ignores
the global lock and creates a nasty race between the PC-speaker and the
PIT clock source / events code on SMP machines.

Use the global i8253_lock instead of the local i8253_beep_lock, when
compiled for i386/x86_64.
