Make efi_runtime_lock semaphore global so that it can be used by EFI
runtime callers that may be defined outside efi/runtime-wrappers.c.

Also now that efi_runtime_lock semaphore is no longer static, rename it
to efi_runtime_sem so it doesn't clash with the efi_runtime_lock spinlock
defined in arch/x86/platform/efi/efi_64.c when CONFIG_EFI_MIXED is
enabled.

The immediate motivation of this change is to serialise UV platform BIOS
calls using the efi_runtime_sem semaphore.

No functional changes.

Hello Hedi,

Hi Ard,

Same feedback as on v1: please don't rename the lock.

With the efi_runtime_lock semaphore being no longer static, not renaming it
will cause a compile failure as it will clash with the declaration of the
efi_runtime_lock *spinlock* in arch/x86/platform/efi/efi_64.c in the
CONFIG_EFI_MIXED case.

Ard,

Any comments on whether resolving the conflict between

{efi_runtime_lock, drivers/firmware/efi/runtime-wrappers.c}

and
{efi_runtime_lock, arch/x86/platform/efi/efi_64.c}

provides the required justification for renaming the efi_runtime_lock semaphore?

Cheers,
Hedi.
