Subject: [PATCHv2] irqchip: arm-gic: take gic_lock when updating irq type

The kernel documentation states that the locking of the irq-chip
registers should be handled by the irq-chip driver. In the irq-gic,
the accesses to the irqchip are seemingly not protected and multiple
writes to SPIs from different irq descriptors do RMW requests without
taking the irq-chip lock. When multiple irqs call the request_irq at
the same time, there can be a simultaneous write at the gic
distributor, leading to a race. Acquire the gic_lock when the
irq_type is updated.
