ARM: OMAP: Fix McBSP spin_lock deadlock

Browse source 
A spin_lock deadlock will occur when omap_mcbsp_request() is invoked.

omap_mcbsp_request()
\- clk_enable(mcbsp->clk)         [takes and holds clockfw_lock]
    \- omap2_clk_enable()
       \- _omap2_clk_enable()
           \- omap_mcbsp_clk_enable()
              \- clk_enable(child clock)   [tries for clockfw_lock again]

mcbsp_clk is a virtual clock and it comprises several child clocks. when
enable mcbsp_clk in omap_mcbsp_request(), the enable function of mcbsp_clk
will enable its child clocks, then the deadlock occurs.

The solution is to remove the virtual clock and enable these child clocks in
omap_mcbsp_request() directly.
