Subject: [PATCH] notifier: Make atomic_notifiers use raw_spinlock

Booting a recent PREEMPT_RT kernel (v5.10-rc3-rt7-rebase) on my arm64 Juno
leads to the idle task blocking on an RT sleeping spinlock down some
notifier path:

  [    1.809101] BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper/5/0/0x00000002

  [    1.809288] secondary_start_kernel (arch/arm64/kernel/smp.c:273)

Two points worth noting:

1) That this is conceptually the same issue as pointed out in:
   313c8c16ee62 ("PM / CPU: replace raw_notifier with atomic_notifier")
2) Only the _robust() variant of atomic_notifier callchains suffer from
   this

AFAICT only the cpu_pm_notifier_chain really needs to be changed, but
singling it out would mean introducing a new (truly) non-blocking API. At
the same time, callers that are fine with any blocking within the call
chain should use blocking notifiers, so patching up all atomic_notifier's
doesn't seem *too* crazy to me.
