hwspinlock/core: simplify 'owner' handling

Use struct device_driver's owner member instead of asking drivers to
explicitly pass the owner again.

This simplifies drivers and also save some memory, since there's no
point now in maintaining a separate owner pointer per hwspinlock.

drivers: hwspinlock: add framework

Add a platform-independent hwspinlock framework.

Hardware spinlock devices are needed, e.g., in order to access data
that is shared between remote processors, that otherwise have no
alternative mechanism to accomplish synchronization and mutual exclusion
operations.
