regmap: teach regmap to use raw spinlocks if requested in the config

Some drivers might access regmap in a context where a raw spinlock is
held. An example is drivers/irqchip/irq-ls-extirq.c, which calls
regmap_update_bits() from struct irq_chip :: irq_set_type, which is a
method called by __irq_set_trigger() under the desc->lock raw spin lock.

Since desc->lock is a raw spin lock and the regmap internal lock for
mmio is a plain spinlock (which can become sleepable on RT), this is an
invalid locking scheme and we get a splat stating that this is a
"[ BUG: Invalid wait context ]".

It seems reasonable for regmap to have an option use a raw spinlock too,
so add that in the config such that drivers can request it.
