gpu: nvgpu: remove rcu locks in clk arbiter

Browse Source 
RCU's are available only in (linux) kernel. Though they are
able to achieve lockless access in some specific scenarios,
they are heavily dependent on the kernel for their functionality.
E.g. synchronize_rcu(), which depends on the kernel in order to
delimit read side critical sections.

As such it is very difficult to implement constructs analogous
to RCUs in userspace code. As a result the code which depends on
RCU's for synchronization is not portable between OS'es,
especially if one of them is in userspace, viz. QNX.

Also, if the code is not in performance critical path, we can do
with non-RCU constructs.

For clk arbiter code here, RCU's are replaced by the traditional
spinlocks, so that the code could be used by QNX down the line.
