Ioan Nicu 31d1e130f4 rapidio: remove global irq spinlocks from the subsystem
Locking of config and doorbell operations should be done only if the
underlying hardware requires it.

This patch removes the global spinlocks from the rapidio subsystem and
moves them to the mport drivers (fsl_rio and tsi721), only to the
necessary places.  For example, local config space read and write
operations (lcread/lcwrite) are atomic in all existing drivers, so there
should be no need for locking, while the cread/cwrite operations which
generate maintenance transactions need to be synchronized with a lock.

Later, each driver could chose to use a per-port lock instead of a
global one, or even more granular locking.
