According to section 7.1 of the UEFI spec, Runtime Services are not fully reentrant, and there are particular combinations of calls that need to be serialized. Use a spinlock to serialize all Runtime Services with respect to all others, even if this is more than strictly needed. We've managed to get away without requiring a runtime services lock until now because most of the interactions with EFI involve EFI variables, and those operations are already serialised with __efivars->lock. Some of the assumptions underlying the decision whether locks are needed or not (e.g., SetVariable() against ResetSystem()) may not apply universally to all [new] architectures that implement UEFI. Rather than try to reason our way out of this, let's just implement at least what the spec requires in terms of locking.
