Fixing a WARN_ON caused by smp_call_function_any() when irq is disabled,
because of changes made in the patch
('cpufreq: powernv: Ramp-down global pstate slower than local-pstate')
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/612058/

You don't necessarily have to write 'what you are doing' in the commit log, but
tell us why you are doing that.

Please explain, why is this changed and why will things continue to work
without this.

Thanks for reviewing. I have tried to convey that in the first line of commit message,

"WARN_ON caused by smp_call_function_any() when irq is disabled,
because of changes made in the patch"

I see, i have not explained why i am changing irq safe spinlock to normal spinlock.
will add some explanation.
