Subject: [PATCH v9 08/16] irqchip: gic: Remove spin locks from eoi_irq

This patch is motivated by the comment it removes from gic_init_fiq,
namely that the spin locks in eoi_irq preclude certain platforms from
supporting FIQ.

Currently there is only one upstream platform (tegra) that actually
hooks gic_arch_extn.irq_eoi and it does not require these spin locks.
