Running a rt-kernel base on 6.2.0-rc3-rt1 on an Ampere Altra outputs
the following:
  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:46
  in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 9, name: kworker/u320:0

  [...]

This seems to come from commit ff7a167961d1 ("arm64: efi: Execute
runtime services from a dedicated stack") which adds a spinlock. This
spinlock is taken through:
efi_call_rts()
\-efi_call_virt()
  \-efi_call_virt_pointer()
    \-arch_efi_call_virt_setup()

Make 'efi_rt_lock' a raw_spinlock to avoid being preempted.
