commit 0e68b55 upstream.

Running a rt-kernel base on 6.2.0-rc3-rt1 on an Ampere Altra outputs
the following:
  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:46

This seems to come from commit ff7a167 ("arm64: efi: Execute
runtime services from a dedicated stack") which adds a spinlock. This
spinlock is taken through:
efi_call_rts()
\-efi_call_virt()
  \-efi_call_virt_pointer()
    \-arch_efi_call_virt_setup()

Make 'efi_rt_lock' a raw_spinlock to avoid being preempted.

[ardb: The EFI runtime services are called with a different set of
       translation tables, and are permitted to use the SIMD registers.
       The context switch code preserves/restores neither, and so EFI
       calls must be made with preemption disabled, rather than only
       disabling migration.]
