This allows for a serialized traversal path from the locking entity to the other. For example, the cpuidle entry from Linux to the firmware to power down the core, can be serialized across the context switch by locking the hwspinlock in Linux and releasing it in the firmware. Do not force the caller of __hwspin_trylock() to acquire a kernel spinlock before acquiring the hwspinlock.
