hwspinlock/core: simplify 'owner' handling
Use struct device_driver's owner member instead of asking drivers to explicitly pass the owner again. This simplifies drivers and also save some memory, since there's no point now in maintaining a separate owner pointer per hwspinlock. Signed-off-by: Ohad Ben-Cohen <ohad@wizery.com>
