[PATCH] mISDN: hfcsusb: Optimize performance by replacing rw_lock with spinlock

[Yu-Chun Lin]

The 'HFClock', an rwlock, is only used by writers, making it functionally
equivalent to a spinlock.

According to Documentation/locking/spinlocks.rst:

"Reader-writer locks require more atomic memory operations than simple
spinlocks. Unless the reader critical section is long, you are better
off just using spinlocks."

Since read_lock() is never called, switching to a spinlock reduces
overhead and improves efficiency.

Build tested only, as I don't have the hardware. 
Ensured all rw_lock -> spinlock conversions are complete, and replacing
rw_lock with spinlock should always be safe.
