Subject: [PATCH] x86, efi: Don't recursively acquire rtc_lock

From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@...ux.intel.com>

A deadlock was introduced on x86 in commit ef68c8f87ed1 ("x86:
Serialize EFI time accesses on rtc_lock") because efi_get_time() and
friends can be called with rtc_lock already held by
read_persistent_time(), e.g.

timekeeping_init()
    read_persistent_clock()	<-- acquire rtc_lock
        efi_get_time()
            phys_efi_get_time()	<-- acquire rtc_lock <DEADLOCK>

Move the locking up into the caller of efi.get_time() and provide some
wrappers for use in other parts of the kernel instead of calling
efi.get_time(), etc directly. This way we can hide the rtc_lock dance
inside of arch/x86.
