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.

The changelog should mention why the lock is renamed.

OK; will add to V2 that it was renamed so that it doesn't clash with the
efi_runtime_lock spinlock defined by CONFIG_EFI_MIXED.

I have no strong opinion, but to apply that I need an Ack from Ard.

OK; thanks for the feedback.

Cheers,
Hedi.
