[PATCH 04/30] firmware: google: Convert regular spinlock into trylock on panic path

[Guilherme G. Piccoli]

Currently the gsmi driver registers a panic notifier as well as
reboot and die notifiers. The callbacks registered are called in
atomic and very limited context - for instance, panic disables
preemption, local IRQs and all other CPUs that aren't running the
current panic function.

With that said, taking a spinlock in this scenario is a
dangerous invitation for a deadlock scenario. So, we fix
that in this commit by changing the regular spinlock with
a trylock, which is a safer approach.
