Since commit

  5894cf571e14 ("acpi/prmt: Use EFI runtime sandbox to invoke PRM handlers")

all EFI runtime calls on arm64 are routed via the EFI runtime wrappers,
which are serialized using the efi_runtime_lock semaphore.

This means the efi_rt_lock spinlock in the arm64 arch wrapper code has
become redundant, and can be dropped. For robustness, replace it with an
assert that the EFI runtime lock is in fact held by 'current'.
