PM: cpu: Make notifier chain use a raw_spinlock_t

Invoking atomic_notifier_chain_notify() requires acquiring a spinlock_t,
which can block under CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT. Notifications for members of the
cpu_pm notification chain will be issued by the idle task, which can never
block.

Making *all* atomic_notifiers use a raw_spinlock is too big of a hammer, as
only notifications issued by the idle task are problematic.

Special-case cpu_pm_notifier_chain by kludging a raw_notifier and
raw_spinlock_t together, matching the atomic_notifier behavior with a
raw_spinlock_t.
