ARM: bL_switcher: Add synchronous enable/disable interface

Some subsystems will need to know for sure whether the switcher is
enabled or disabled during certain critical regions.

This patch provides a simple mutex-based mechanism to discover
whether the switcher is enabled and temporarily lock out further
enable/disable:

  * bL_switcher_get_enabled() returns true iff the switcher is
    enabled and temporarily inhibits enable/disable.

  * bL_switcher_put_enabled() permits enable/disable of the switcher
    again after a previous call to bL_switcher_get_enabled().
