This patch converts gpio_bank.lock from a spin_lock into a
raw_spin_lock. The call path is to access this lock is always under a
raw_spin_lock, for instance
- __setup_irq() holds &desc->lock with irq off
   + __irq_set_trigger()
    + omap_gpio_irq_type()

- handle_level_irq() (runs with irqs off therefore raw locks)
   + mask_ack_irq()
    + omap_gpio_mask_irq()

This fixes the obvious backtrace on -RT. However the locking vs context
is not and this is not limited to -RT:
- omap_gpio_irq_type() is called with IRQ off and has an conditional
   call to pm_runtime_get_sync() which may sleep. Either it may happen or
   it may not happen but pm_runtime_get_sync() should not be called with
   irqs off.

- omap_gpio_debounce() is holding the lock with IRQs off.
   + omap2_set_gpio_debounce()
    + clk_prepare_enable()
     + clk_prepare() this one might sleep.
   The number of users of gpiod_set_debounce() / gpio_set_debounce()
   looks low but still this is not good.

Should be safe to do it.
