Subject: [PATCH v3 12/29] arm_mpam: Add helpers for managing the locking around the mon_sel registers

The MSC MON_SEL register needs to be accessed from hardirq for the overflow
interrupt, and when taking an IPI to access these registers on platforms
where MSC are not accessible from every CPU. This makes an irqsave
spinlock the obvious lock to protect these registers. On systems with SCMI
or PCC mailboxes it must be able to sleep, meaning a mutex must be used.
The SCMI or PCC platforms can't support an overflow interrupt, and
can't access the registers from hardirq context.

Clearly these two can't exist for one MSC at the same time.

Add helpers for the MON_SEL locking. For now, use a irqsave spinlock and
only support 'real' MMIO platforms.

In the future this lock will be split in two allowing SCMI/PCC platforms
to take a mutex. Because there are contexts where the SCMI/PCC platforms
can't make an access, mpam_mon_sel_lock() needs to be able to fail. Do
this now, so that all the error handling on these paths is present. This
allows the relevant paths to fail if they are needed on a platform where
this isn't possible, instead of having to make explicit checks of the
interface type.

Change since v1:
 * Made accesses to outer_lock_held READ_ONCE() for torn values in the failure
   case.
