[PATCH 15/13] firmware: arm_sdei: move the frozen flag under the spinlock

dpm_suspend() calls the freeze/thaw callbacks for hibernate before
disable_non_bootcpus() takes down secondaries.

This leads to a fun race where the freeze/thaw callbacks reset the
SDEI interface (as we may be restoring a kernel with a different
layout due to KASLR), then the cpu-hotplug callbacks come in to
save the current state, which has already been reset.

We solve this with a 'frozen' flag that stops the hotplug callback
from overwriting the saved values.

This patch moves the flag under the 'events' spinlock we take
in the hotplug callbacks, to avoid depending on cpu-hotplug's
mechanics to ensure the callback sees the correct value.
