[HACK]: spinlock: send explicit event after store release instructionRD-INFRA-2020.11.09
stlr instruction in the spin_unlock function is expected to send an
implicit event to all CPU cores. In a cross chip scenario, FVP has
stability issues while sending this implicit event across chips.
To avoid the stability issues, add sev instruction which sends explicit
events to all cores. Explicit events are propagated across chips without
any stability issues.
