From: Richard Maina <quic_rmaina@quicinc.com>

The hwspinlock used by qcom,smem is used to synchronize smem access
between the cpu and other remoteprocs in the soc. If one of these
remoteprocs crashes while holding the hwspinlock, then the remoteproc
driver should try to  release the lock on behalf of the rproc. This
would require rproc and smem drivers to share access to a hwspinlock
handle.

With the introduction of reference counting this is now achievable,
therefore, remove the code in hwspin_lock_request_specific() preventing
this.

The single owner condition is retained in the hwspin_lock_request()
function, as this is specifically intended for requesting an unused
hwspinlock and should not have any shared references.
