[PATCH 1/7] pstore: Make spinlock per zone instead of global

[Joel Fernandes]

Currently pstore has a global spinlock for all zones. Since the zones are
independent and modify different areas of memory, there's no need to have a
global lock, so we should use a per-zone lock as introduced here. Also,
ramoops's ftrace usecase has a FTRACE_PER_CPU flag introduced in this patch
series which splits the ftrace memory area into a single zone per CPU thus
eliminating the need for locking. In preparation for this, make the locking
optional.
