From: Nathan Lynch <nath...@linux.ibm.com>
Use rtas_ibm_activate_firmware_lock to prevent interleaving call
sequences of the ibm,activate-firmware RTAS function, which typically
requires multiple calls to complete the update. While the spec does
not specifically prohibit interleaved sequences, there's almost
certainly no advantage to allowing them.
