Fix race in GIC IPRIORITY and ITARGET accessors
GICD_IPRIORITYR and GICD_ITARGETSR specifically support byte addressing so that individual interrupt priorities can be atomically updated by issuing a single byte write. The previous implementation of gicd_set_ipriority() and gicd_set_itargetsr() used 32-bit register accesses, modifying values for 4 interrupts at a time, using a read-modify-write approach. This potentially may cause concurrent changes by other CPUs to the adjacent interrupts to be corrupted. This patch fixes the issue by modifying these accessors to use byte addressing. Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#343 Change-Id: Iec28b5f5074045b00dfb8d5f5339b685f9425915
