spi/pl022: Add high priority message pump support
This switches the PL022 worker to a kthread in order to get hold of a mechanism to control the message pump priority. On low-latency systems elevating the message kthread to realtime priority give a real sleek response curve. This has been confirmed by measurements. Realtime priority elevation for a certain PL022 port can be requested from platform data.
