OF: Fixup resursive locking code paths
There is no real reason to use a rwlock for devtree_lock. It even could be a mutex, but unfortunately it's locked from cpu hotplug paths which can't schedule :( So it needs to become a raw lock on rt as well. The devtree_lock would be the only user of a raw_rw_lock, so we are better off cleaning up the recursive locking paths which allows us to convert devtree_lock to a read_lock. Here we do the standard thing of introducing __foo() as the "raw" version of foo(), so that we can take better control of the locking. The "raw" versions are not exported and are for internal use within the file itself.
