[POWERPC] spufs: streamline locking for isolated spu setup

For quite a while now spu state is protected by a simple mutex instead
of the old rw_semaphore, and this means we can simplify the locking
around spu_setup_isolated a lot.

Instead of doing an spu_release before entering spu_setup_isolated and
then calling the complicated spu_acquire_exclusive we can now simply
enter the function locked an in guaranteed runnable state, so that the
only bit of spu_acquire_exclusive that's left is the call to
spu_unmap_mappings.

Similarly there's no more need to unlock and reacquire the state_mutex
when spu_setup_isolated is done, but we can always return with the
lock held and only drop it in spu_run_init in the failure case.
