CVE-2025-21912 gpio: rcar: Use raw_spinlock to protect register access
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

gpio: rcar: Use raw_spinlock to protect register access

Use raw_spinlock in order to fix spurious messages about invalid context
when spinlock debugging is enabled. The lock is only used to serialize
register access.
