pstore: Don't use semaphores in always-atomic-context code

pstore_dump() is *always* invoked in atomic context (nowadays in an RCU
read-side critical section, before that under a spinlock).
It doesn't make sense to try to use semaphores here.

This is mostly a revert of commit ea84b580b955 ("pstore: Convert buf_lock
to semaphore"), except that two parts aren't restored back exactly as they
were:

 - keep the lock initialization in pstore_register
 - in efi_pstore_write(), always set the "block" flag to false
 - omit "is_locked", that was unnecessary since
   commit 959217c84c27 ("pstore: Actually give up during locking failure")
 - fix the bailout message

The actual problem that the buggy commit was trying to address may have
been that the use of preemptible() in efi_pstore_write() was wrong - it
only looks at preempt_count() and the state of IRQs, but __rcu_read_lock()
doesn't touch either of those under CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU.
(Sidenote: CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU means that the scheduler can preempt tasks in
RCU read-side critical sections, but you're not allowed to actively
block/reschedule.)

Lockdep probably never caught the problem because it's very rare that you
actually hit the contended case, so lockdep always just sees the
down_trylock(), not the down_interruptible(), and so it can't tell that
there's a problem.
