Rework bakery lock with WFE/SEV sequence
Current implementation of Bakery Lock does tight-loop waiting upon lock
contention.
This commit reworks the implementation to use WFE instruction for
waiting, and SEV to signal lock availability. It also adds the rationale
for choosing Bakery Locks instead of exclusion primitives, and more
comments for the lock algorithm.
Fixes ARM-software/tf-issue#67
