[PATCH 3.18-rc3 v7 1/4] irqchip: gic: Make gic_raise_softirq() FIQ-safe

Currently calling printk() from a FIQ can result in deadlock on
irq_controller_lock within gic_raise_softirq(). This occurs because
printk(), which is otherwise structured to survive calls from FIQ/NMI,
calls this function to raise an IPI when it needs to wake_up_klogd().

This patch fixes the problem by introducing an additional rwlock and
using that to prevent softirqs being raised whilst the b.L switcher
is updating the cpu map.

Other parts of the code are not updated to use the new
fiq_safe_cpu_map_lock because other users of gic_cpu_map either rely on
external locking or upon irq_controller_lock. Both locks are held by the
b.L switcher code.
