The i8254/i8259 locks need to be real spinlocks on preempt-rt. Convert

Doesn't fly for -rt anymore: pic_irq_update runs under this raw lock and
calls kvm_vcpu_kick which tries to wake_up some thread -> scheduling
while atomic.
Hmm, a wakeup itself is fine. Is that code waking a wake queue ?
Yes, it's a wake queue.
So what's the core issue? Is the lock_t in the wait_queue a sleeping mutex?
Yep.
I see. Won't we hit the same issue when we call pic functions from
atomic context during the guest entry sequence?
