Subject: [PATCH v2] ACPI: fix acpi_power_off lockdep splat

Implement acpi_os_create_lock() as a C-preprocessor macro to suppress
lockdep false positive.

When lockdep is enabled the spin_lock_init macro stringifies it's
argument and uses that as a name for the lock in the debugging.

By executing spin_lock_init in a macro the key changes from "lock" for
all locks to the actual argument of acpi_os_create_lock()
("&acpi_gbl_global_lock_pending_lock", "&acpi_gbl_gpe_lock" or
"&acpi_gbl_hardware_lock" for now).

This fixes:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38152

ChangeLog (v1 -> v2):
 - avoid to call spin_lock_init multiple times on the same lock
 - rewrite patch description (thanks to Florian for providing a better
   description of the patch)
