crypto: hisilicon/zip - Optimize performance by replacing rw_lock with spinlock
The req_lock is currently implemented as a rw_lock, but there are no
instances where read_lock() is called. This means that the lock is
effectively only used by writers, making it functionally equivalent to
a simple spinlock.
As stated in Documentation/locking/spinlocks.rst:
"Reader-writer locks require more atomic memory operations than simple
spinlocks. Unless the reader critical section is long, you are better
off just using spinlocks."
Since the rw_lock in this case incurs additional atomic memory
operations without any benefit from reader-writer locking, it is more
efficient to replace it with a spinlock. This patch implements that
replacement to optimize the driver's performance.
