Use DEFINE_SPINLOCK to avoid confusing lockdep.

but, but.. sysrq handlers called from hard IRQ. Are we sure that none of
the drivers which call into the sysrq code do so with hard IRQs disabled?
Because if we call on_each_cpu() with hard IRQs disabled, the various
implementations will emit loud warnings due to the deadlockability.
