IMHO, this comment can be confusing later. one might think that
qcom_scm_call_atomic() needs to be called with this lock, but that does
not seems to be the intention here.

So, this function can't be called from hardirq context. If that ever
happens, with this new spinlock (without disabling interrupts), can
result in deadlock.
