The kernel documentation states that the locking of the irq-chip
registers should be handled by the irq-chip driver. In the irq-gic,
the accesses to the irqchip are seemingly not protected and multiple
writes to SPIs from different irq descriptors do RMW requests without
taking the irq-chip lock. When multiple irqs call the request_irq at
the same time, there can be a simultaneous write at the gic
distributor, leading to a race. Acquire the gic_lock when the
irq_type is updated.

Changes from V1:
* Moved the spinlock from irq-gic to irq-gic common, so that the fix
is valid for GIC v1/v2/v3.
Change from V2:
* Fixup the Signed-off-by line.
