Replace the pcspkr private PIT lock by the global PIT lock to serialize the
PIT access all over the place.

Like I said before I'd be more happy if spinlock was attached to a
platform device that pcspkr binds to so the arch code would control
wehther we use a private spinlock or a global one (I sent a patch to
that effect earlier). However I am OK with Thomas's patch as well.
