[PATCH 12/30] parisc: Replace regular spinlock with spin_trylock on panic path



The panic notifiers' callbacks execute in an atomic context, with
interrupts/preemption disabled, and all CPUs not running the panic
function are off, so it's very dangerous to wait on a regular
spinlock, there's a risk of deadlock.

This patch refactors the panic notifier of parisc/power driver
to make use of spin_trylock - for that, we've added a second
version of the soft-power function. Also, some comments were
reorganized and trailing white spaces, useless header inclusion
and blank lines were removed.
