Subject: [RFC PATCH] cpu_pm/rt: replace rt rwlock with raw spinlock

This is a quick fix for a bug as 'scheduling while atomic' or
'scheduling from the idle thread' on arm/arm64.

On arm/arm64, rwlock cpu_pm_notifier_lock in cpu_pm cause a potential
schedule after irq disable in idle call chain:

cpu_startup_entry
  cpu_idle_loop
    local_irq_disable()
    cpuidle_idle_call
      call_cpuidle
        cpuidle_enter
          cpuidle_enter_state
            ->enter :arm_enter_idle_state
	      cpu_pm_enter/exit
	        CPU_PM_CPU_IDLE_ENTER
                  read_lock(&cpu_pm_notifier_lock); <-- sleep in idle
	             __rt_spin_lock();
			schedule();

The kernel panic is here:
[    4.609601] BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper/1/0/0x00000002

[    4.609645] [<ffff00000808e004>] secondary_start_kernel+0x15c/0x1a0

Daniel Lezcano said this notification is needed on arm/arm64 platforms.
I also tried use local_lock_irq to replace local_irq_disable, but my 2
boards just die without any output. So maybe it's only quick way to
make rt kernel work on arm/arm64.

Since this is quick fix, instead of split out the raw rwlock, to use
raw_spin_lock is simple and don't cost much.
