[PATCH 5/8] ARM: Convert boot_lock to raw_lock [spear]

From: Frank Rowand <frank.rowand at am.sony.com>

The arm boot_lock is used by the secondary processor startup code.  The locking
task is the idle thread, which has idle->sched_class == &idle_sched_class.
idle_sched_class->enqueue_task == NULL, so if the idle task blocks on the
lock, the attempt to wake it when the lock becomes available will fail:

try_to_wake_up()
   ...
      activate_task()
         enqueue_task()
            p->sched_class->enqueue_task(rq, p, flags)

Fix by converting boot_lock to a raw spin lock.
