media: cedrus: Remove global IRQ spin lock from the driver

Browse source 
We initially introduced a spin lock to ensure that the VPU registers
are not accessed concurrently between our setup function and IRQ
handler. The V4L2 M2M API ensures that only one decoding job runs at a
time, so the interrupt signaling the end of decoding will not occur
while the next picture is being configured.

Spurious interrupts are taken care of in the handler, by checking that
we have a valid M2M context and a decoding status available before
marking the buffers as done.

In addition, holding a spin lock could be problematic if non-atomic
operations are required in the setup process for future codec support.

As a result, remove the global IRQ spin lock.
