[PATCH] powerpc/imc-pmu: Revert nest_init_lock to being a mutex

The recent commit 76d588dddc45 ("powerpc/imc-pmu: Fix use of mutex in
IRQs disabled section") fixed warnings (and possible deadlocks) in the
IMC PMU driver by converting the locking to use spinlocks.

It also converted the init-time nest_init_lock to a spinlock, even
though it's not used at runtime in IRQ disabled sections or while
holding other spinlocks.

This leads to warnings such as:

  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at include/linux/percpu-rwsem.h:49

Fix it by converting nest_init_lock back to a mutex, so that we can call
sleeping functions while holding it. There is no interaction between
nest_init_lock and the runtime spinlocks used by the actual PMU routines.
