Only use synchronous calls to enter the Secure Partition in order to
simplify the SMC handling code.

Instead of just knowing if the Secure Partition is being initialized or
not, this generic state enum can be used to tell if the Secure Partition
is busy and to add more states in the future if needed.

Also, the spinlock of the secure_partition_context_t structure now only
protects against concurrent accesses to the state of the secure
partition. Previously, it used to lock down the whole structure, thus
preventing one CPU to access any of its fields while another CPU was
executing the partition.

The current internal names are too long, which makes it hard to write
code as many lines overflow the limit and need to be split, which may
not help the reader.

This is done in order to make it easier to read the file spm_main.c.

Move all information related to a Secure Partition to the struct
secure_partition_context_t.

This requires an in-depth refactor because most of the previous code of
SPM relied on global information.

The Secure Partition should be able to be used from any CPU, not just
the lead one. This patch point the secure contexts of all secondary
CPUs to the same one used by the lead CPU for the Secure Partition. This
way, they can also use it.

In order to prevent more than one CPU from using the Secure Partition at
the same time, a lock has been added.

Whether a Secure Partition is being initialized or not is something
related to that specific partition, so it should be saved with the
rest of the information related to it.

A Secure Partition is a software execution environment instantiated in
S-EL0 that can be used to implement simple management and security
services. Since S-EL0 is an unprivileged exception level, a Secure
Partition relies on privileged firmware e.g. ARM Trusted Firmware to be
granted access to system and processor resources. Essentially, it is a
software sandbox that runs under the control of privileged software in
the Secure World and accesses the following system resources:

- Memory and device regions in the system address map.
- PE system registers.
- A range of asynchronous exceptions e.g. interrupts.
- A range of synchronous exceptions e.g. SMC function identifiers.

A Secure Partition enables privileged firmware to implement only the
absolutely essential secure services in EL3 and instantiate the rest in
a partition. Since the partition executes in S-EL0, its implementation
cannot be overly complex.

The component in ARM Trusted Firmware responsible for managing a Secure
Partition is called the Secure Partition Manager (SPM). The SPM is
responsible for the following:

- Validating and allocating resources requested by a Secure Partition.
- Implementing a well defined interface that is used for initialising a
  Secure Partition.
- Implementing a well defined interface that is used by the normal world
  and other secure services for accessing the services exported by a
  Secure Partition.
- Implementing a well defined interface that is used by a Secure
  Partition to fulfil service requests.
- Instantiating the software execution environment required by a Secure
  Partition to fulfil a service request.
