[PATCH v3 23/31] coresight: syscfg: Use spinlock to protect active variables

To support dynamically enabling and disabling the Coresight path during
CPU idle, cscfg_config_sysfs_get_active_cfg() may be called by the ETM
driver in an atomic context. However, the function currently acquires a
mutex, which is a sleepable lock, and this is not allowed in atomic
context.

To make cscfg_config_sysfs_get_active_cfg() called in the idle flow,
replace the mutex with a raw spinlock to protect the active
variables.
