utils: Use exclusive load to wake up from WFE

Browse source 
Commit 9c795fbdbf introduced the pair of
WFE and SEV for spinlock, but it caused delays of tens of seconds. A
possible explanation for the delay is lack of data synchronization
barrier between the store instruction and SEV instruction.
Arm Architecture Reference Manual for A-profile architecture (issue H.a)
says:
> Arm recommends that software includes a Data Synchronization Barrier
> (DSB) instruction before any SEV instruction. The DSB instruction
> ensures that no instructions, including any SEV instructions, that
> appear in program order after the DSB instruction, can execute until
> the DSB instruction has completed.

However, inserting a DSB instruction still didn't resolve the delay.

The exclusive load is an alternative to the SEV instruction. The manual
says:
> ...However, in Armv8, when the global monitor for a PE changes from
> Exclusive Access state to Open Access state, an event is generated.

> This is equivalent to issuing an SEVL instruction on the PE for which
> the monitor state has changed. It removes the need for spinlock code
> to include an SEV instruction after clearing a spinlock.

As an additional benefit, the exclusive load is local to the PE and
eliminates spurious events for other PEs.

Trusted Firmware-A v2.6 also employs the same algorithm.
