Marc Zyngier c50b30f39d irqchip/gic: Atomically update affinity
commit 005c34ae4b44f085120d7f371121ec7ded677761 upstream.

The GIC driver uses a RMW sequence to update the affinity, and
relies on the gic_lock_irqsave/gic_unlock_irqrestore sequences
to update it atomically.

But these sequences only expand into anything meaningful if
the BL_SWITCHER option is selected, which almost never happens.

It also turns out that using a RMW and locks is just as silly,
as the GIC distributor supports byte accesses for the GICD_TARGETRn
registers, which when used make the update atomic by definition.

Drop the terminally broken code and replace it by a byte write.
