Alex Shi 313c8c16ee PM / CPU: replace raw_notifier with atomic_notifier
This patch replaces an rwlock and raw notifier by an atomic notifier
protected by a spin_lock and RCU.

The main reason for this change is due to a 'scheduling while atomic'
bug with RT kernels on ARM/ARM64. On ARM/ARM64, the rwlock
cpu_pm_notifier_lock in cpu_pm_enter/exit() causes a potential
schedule after IRQ disable in the idle call chain:

cpu_startup_entry
  cpu_idle_loop
    local_irq_disable()
    cpuidle_idle_call
      call_cpuidle
        cpuidle_enter
          cpuidle_enter_state
            ->enter :arm_enter_idle_state
              cpu_pm_enter/exit
                CPU_PM_CPU_IDLE_ENTER
                  read_lock(&cpu_pm_notifier_lock); <-- sleep in idle
                     __rt_spin_lock();
                        schedule();

The kernel panic is here:

Daniel Lezcano said this notification is needed on arm/arm64 platforms.
Sebastian suggested using atomic_notifier instead of rwlock, which is not
only removing the sleeping in idle, but also improving latency.

Tony Lindgren found a miss use that rcu_read_lock used after rcu_idle_enter
Paul McKenney suggested trying RCU_NONIDLE.
