Subject: [PATCHv2] pwm: avoid holding mutex in interrupt context

The introduction of the mutex in commit d1cd21427747 ("pwm: Set enable
state properly on failed call to enable") effectively makes all PWM drivers
potentially sleeping. That in turn makes the .can_sleep field obsolete
since all drivers can now sleep.

Changes fix the below bug by using spinlocks instead of mutex
