Richard Maina 1227a242dd hwspinlock: Introduce hwspin_lock_bust()
[ Upstream commit 7c327d56597d8de1680cf24e956b704270d3d84a ]

When a remoteproc crashes or goes down unexpectedly this can result in
a state where locks held by the remoteproc will remain locked possibly
resulting in deadlock. This new API hwspin_lock_bust() allows
hwspinlock implementers to define a bust operation for freeing previously
acquired hwspinlocks after verifying ownership of the acquired lock.
