bpf, lpm: Make locking RT friendly
The LPM trie map cannot be used in contexts like perf, kprobes and tracing as this map type dynamically allocates memory. The memory allocation happens with a raw spinlock held which is a truly spinning lock on a PREEMPT RT enabled kernel which disables preemption and interrupts. As RT does not allow memory allocation from such a section for various reasons, convert the raw spinlock to a regular spinlock. On a RT enabled kernel these locks are substituted by 'sleeping' spinlocks which provide the proper protection but keep the code preemptible. On a non-RT kernel regular spinlocks map to raw spinlocks, i.e. this does not cause any functional change.
