Sylvain Chouleur 21b3ddd39f efi: Don't use spinlocks for efi vars
All efivars operations are protected by a spinlock which prevents
interruptions and preemption. This is too restricted, we just need a
lock preventing concurrency.
The idea is to use a semaphore of count 1 and to have two ways of
locking, depending on the context:
- In interrupt context, we call down_trylock(), if it fails we return
  an error
- In normal context, we call down_interruptible()

We don't use a mutex here because the mutex_trylock() function must not
be called from interrupt context, whereas the down_trylock() can.
