workqueue: Convert the pool::lock and wq_mayday_lock to raw_spinlock_t
The workqueue code has it's internal spinlocks (pool::lock), which are acquired on most workqueue operations. These spinlocks are converted to 'sleeping' spinlocks on a RT-kernel. Workqueue functions can be invoked from contexts which are truly atomic even on a PREEMPT_RT enabled kernel. Taking sleeping locks from such contexts is forbidden. The pool::lock hold times are bound and the code sections are relatively short, which allows to convert pool::lock and as a consequence wq_mayday_lock to raw spinlocks which are truly spinning locks even on a PREEMPT_RT kernel. With the previous conversion of the manager waitqueue to a simple waitqueue workqueues are now fully RT compliant.
