PM / OPP: Move away from RCU locking
The RCU locking isn't well suited for the OPP core. The RCU locking fits better for reader heavy stuff, while the OPP core have at max one or two readers only at a time. Over that, it was getting very confusing the way RCU locking was used with the OPP core. The individual OPPs are mostly well handled, i.e. for an update a new structure was created and then that replaced the older one. But the OPP tables were updated directly all the time from various parts of the core. Though they were mostly used from within RCU locked region, they didn't had much to do with RCU and were governed by the mutex instead. And that mixed with the 'opp_table_lock' has made the core even more confusing. Now that we are already managing the OPPs and the OPP tables with kernel reference infrastructure, we can get rid of RCU locking completely and simplify the code a lot. Remove all RCU references from code and comments. Acquire opp_table->lock while parsing the list of OPPs though.
