x86, irq, ACPI: Introduce a mutex to protect IOAPIC operations from hotplug

We are going to support ACPI based IOAPIC hotplug, so introduce a mutex
to protect IOAPIC data structures from IOAPIC hotplug. We choose to
serialize in ACPI instead of in the IOAPIC core because:

1) currently we only plan to support ACPI based IOAPIC hotplug
2) it's much more cleaner and easier
3) It does't affect IOAPIC discovered by devicetree, SFI and mpparse.
