[PATCH v3 03/10] powerpc/rtas: Serialize firmware activation sequences

[Nathan Lynch via B4 Relay]

From: Nathan Lynch <nathanl at linux.ibm.com>

Use the function lock API to prevent interleaving call sequences of
the ibm,activate-firmware RTAS function, which typically requires
multiple calls to complete the update. While the spec does not
specifically prohibit interleaved sequences, there's almost certainly
no advantage to allowing them.
