[PATCH] ibmasm driver: fix race in command refcount logic

Browse Source 
This patch fixes a race in the command reference counting logic by putting
spinlocks around kobject_put() in the command_put function.

- Also added debug messages.

- Changed a memcpy to memcpy_fromio since we are reading from io space.
