Replace exclusive accesses with a bakery lock
The commit prepares the removal of the MMU identity map, which was only
used for exclusive accesses (ldxr/stxr) in psci_cpu_on.
Instead of relying on exclusives, we assume that when stage-1
translation is disabled, all EL3 memory accesses have Device type, with
non-gathering and non-reordering attributes. This guarantees single-copy
atomicity of aligned halfword accesses, as per the ARM ARM.
We can thus switch to a less constrained (albeit bulkier) locking
mechanism. This patch implements Lamport's bakery lock, which doesn't
rely on atomic compare-and-swap primitives.
For bisectability, we remove the call to switch_to_idmap here.
Otherwise, the assertions made by the bakery lock code, regarding order
of accesses, are invalid. The rest of the code will be removed in a
subsequent patch.
