firmware: google: test spinlock on panic path to avoid lockups
Currently the gsmi driver registers a panic notifier as well as reboot and
die notifiers. The callbacks registered are called in atomic and very
limited context - for instance, panic disables preemption and local IRQs,
also all secondary CPUs (not executing the panic path) are shutdown.
With that said, taking a spinlock in this scenario is a dangerous
invitation for lockup scenarios. So, fix that by checking if the spinlock
is free to acquire in the panic notifier callback - if not, bail-out and
avoid a potential hang.
