clocksource/drivers/sh_cmt: Address race condition for clock events
There is a race condition in the CMT interrupt handler. In the interrupt
handler the driver sets a driver private flag, FLAG_IRQCONTEXT. This
flag is used to indicate any call to set_next_event() should not be
directly propagated to the device, but instead cached. This is done as
the interrupt handler itself reprograms the device when needed before it
completes and this avoids this operation to take place twice.
It is unclear why this design was chosen, my suspicion is to allow the
struct clock_event_device.event_handler callback, which is called while
the FLAG_IRQCONTEXT is set, can update the next event without having to
write to the device twice.
Unfortunately there is a race between when the FLAG_IRQCONTEXT flag is
set and later cleared where the interrupt handler have already started to
write the next event to the device. If set_next_event() is called in
this window the value is only cached in the driver but not written. This
leads to the board to misbehave, or worse lockup and produce a splat.

The design have been part of the driver since it was first merged in
early 2009. It becomes increasingly harder to trigger the issue the
older kernel version one tries. It only takes a few boots on v6.10-rc5,
while hundreds of boots are needed to trigger it on v5.10.
Close the race condition by using the CMT channel lock for the two
competing sections. The channel lock was added to the driver after its
initial design.
