irqchip/gic: Make locking a BL_SWITCHER only feature
The BL switcher code manipulates the logical/physical CPU mapping,
forcing a lock to be taken on the IPI path. With an IPI heavy load,
this single lock becomes contended.
But when CONFIG_BL_SWITCHER is not enabled, there is no reason
to take this lock at all since the CPU mapping is immutable.
This patch allows the lock to be entierely removed when BL_SWITCHER
is not enabled (which is the case in most configurations), leading
to a small improvement of "perf bench sched pipe" (measured on
an 8 core AMD Seattle system):
Before: 101370 ops/sec
After: 103680 ops/sec
Take this opportunity to remove a useless lock being taken when
handling an interrupt on a secondary GIC.
