Subject: [PATCH] rpmsg: glink: Use spinlock in tx path

Switch the tx_lock to a spinlock we allow clients to use rpmsg_trysend()
from atomic context.

In order to allow clients to sleep while waiting for space in the FIFO
we release the lock temporarily around the delay; which should be
replaced by sending a READ_NOTIF and waiting for the remote to signal
us that space has been made available.

Hey Bjorn,

Minor issue with the glink patch.

Thanks,

qcom_glink_tx will return an uninitialized ret value with removal of
mutex_lock_interruptible.
