This patch series improves the arm_ffa notification callback handling by
addressing safety and memory issues. It replaces a mutex with an rwlock
to prevent sleeping in atomic context, resolving kernel warnings. Memory
allocation is moved outside the lock to support this transition safely.
Additionally, a memory leak in the notifier unregistration path is fixed
by properly freeing the callback node.
