[PATCH RT 24/25][RFC 3.0.23-rt39-rc1] cpu: Make hotplug.lock a "sleeping" spinlock on RT

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Tasks can block on hotplug.lock in pin_current_cpu(), but their state
might be != RUNNING. So the mutex wakeup will set the state
unconditionally to RUNNING. That might cause spurious unexpected
wakeups. We could provide a state preserving mutex_lock() function,
but this is semantically backwards. So instead we convert the
hotplug.lock() to a spinlock for RT, which has the state preserving
semantics already.
