powerpc/mpic_msgr: add lock for MPIC message global variable
Also fix issue of accessing invalid msgr pointer issue. The local msgr pointer in fucntion mpic_msgr_get will be accessed before getting a valid address which will cause kernel crash. Signed-off-by: Mingkai Hu <Mingkai.hu@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>
