efi: Replace runtime services spinlock with semaphore
The purpose of the efi_runtime_lock is to prevent concurrent calls into
the firmware. There is no need to use spinlocks here, as long as we ensure
that runtime service invocations from an atomic context (i.e., EFI pstore)
cannot block.
So use a semaphore instead, and use down_trylock() in the nonblocking case.
We don't use a mutex here because the mutex_trylock() function must not
be called from interrupt context, whereas the down_trylock() can.
