efi/capsule: Make efi_capsule_pending() lockless
Taking a mutex in the reboot path is bogus because we cannot sleep with interrupts disabled, such as when rebooting due to panic(), BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:97 in_atomic(): 0, irqs_disabled(): 1, pid: 7, name: rcu_sched Call Trace: dump_stack+0x63/0x89 ___might_sleep+0xd8/0x120 __might_sleep+0x49/0x80 mutex_lock+0x20/0x50 efi_capsule_pending+0x1d/0x60 native_machine_emergency_restart+0x59/0x280 machine_emergency_restart+0x19/0x20 emergency_restart+0x18/0x20 panic+0x1ba/0x217 In this case all other CPUs will have been stopped by the time we execute the platform reboot code, so 'capsule_pending' cannot change under our feet. We wouldn't care even if it could since we cannot wait for it complete. Also, instead of relying on the external 'system_state' variable just use a reboot notifier, so we can set 'stop_capsules' while holding 'capsule_mutex', thereby avoiding a race where system_state is updated while we're in the middle of efi_capsule_update_locked() (since CPUs won't have been stopped at that point).
