Semaphore is sleeping lock. Add might_sleep() to down*() family
(with exception of down_trylock()) to detect atomic context sleep.

This patch results in the following traceback on all arm64 boots with
EFI BIOS.

The problem is only seen with CONFIG_ACPI_PPTT=y, and thus only on arm64.

I Cced Xiongfeng, he sent a patch to fix this issue over a month ago:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20210720112635.38565-1-wangxiongfeng2@xxxxxxxxxx/T/

and the calltrace is exactly the same as below.

Sudeep, would you mind take a look again?
