Subject: [PATCHv5 RFC 12/15] hwspinlock/core: add OF helper to parse reserved locks

The property 'hwlock-reserved-locks' will be used to represent
the number of locks to be reserved for clients that would need
to request/operate on specific locks. A new OF helper function,
of_hwspin_lock_get_num_reserved_locks(), is added to minimize
duplication in different platform implementations.

The function will return a value of 0 if the property is not
defined, so as to support a default behavior of marking all
locks as unused and open for anonymous allocations.
