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.
