Convert busy_count to a simple int protected by spinlock.

A little more reasoning might be nice.

Nit: this comment is clearly wrong, since we only have Job, GPU and MMU interrupts here. I guess if there is a race it would be between submission/completion/timeout on different job slots.

Given that, should this actually be considered a fix for 9e62b885f715 ("drm/panfrost: Simplify devfreq utilisation tracking")?
