irqchip: gic: Optimize locking in gic_raise_softirq

Currently gic_raise_softirq() is locked using irq_controller_lock.
This lock is primarily used to make register read-modify-write sequences
atomic but gic_raise_softirq() uses it instead to ensure that the
big.LITTLE migration logic can figure out when it is safe to migrate
interrupts between physical cores.

This is sub-optimal in closely related ways:

1. No locking at all is required on systems where the b.L switcher is
   not configured.

2. Finer grain locking can be used on systems where the b.L switcher is
   present.

This patch resolves both of the above by introducing a separate finer
grain lock and providing conditionally compiled inlines to lock/unlock
it.
