[PATCH 1/2] powerpc/kvm: Convert openpic lock to raw_spinlock

[Bogdan Purcareata]

This patch enables running intensive I/O workloads, e.g. netperf, in a guest
deployed on a RT host. It also enable guests to be SMP.

The openpic spinlock becomes a sleeping mutex on a RT system. This no longer
guarantees that EPR is atomic with exception delivery. The guest VCPU thread
fails due to a BUG_ON(preemptible()) when running netperf.

In order to make the kvmppc_mpic_set_epr() call safe on RT from non-atomic
context, convert the openpic lock to a raw_spinlock. A similar approach can
be seen for x86 platforms in the following commit [1].

Here are some comparative cyclitest measurements run inside a high priority RT
guest run on a RT host. The guest has 1 VCPU and the test has been run for 15
minutes. The guest runs ~750 hackbench processes as background stress.

                  spinlock  raw_spinlock
Min latency (us)  4         4
Avg latency (us)  15        19
Max latency (us)  70        62
