ARM: GIC: Convert GIC library to use the IO relaxed operations
The GIC register accesses today make use of readl()/writel()
which prove to be very expensive when used along with mandatory
barriers. This mandatory barriers also introduces an un-necessary
and expensive l2x0_sync() operation. On Cortex-A9 MP cores, GIC
IO accesses from CPU are direct and doesn't go through L2X0 write
buffer.
A DSB before writel_relaxed() in gic_raise_softirq() is added to be
compliant with the Barrier Litmus document - the mailbox scenario.
