media: verisilicon: change confusingly named relaxed register access


The register abstraction has wrappers around both the normal writel()
and its writel_relaxed() counterpart, but this has led to a lot of users
ending up with the relaxed version.

There is sometimes a need to intentionally pick the relaxed accessor for
performance critical functions, but I noticed that each hantro_reg_write()
call also contains a non-relaxed readl(), which is typically much more
expensive than a writel, so there is little benefit here but an added
risk of missing a serialization against DMA.

To make this behave like other interfaces, use the normal accessor by
default and only provide the relaxed version as an alternative for
performance critical code. hantro_postproc.c is the only place that
used both the relaxed and normal writel, but this does not seem
cricital either, so change it all to the normal ones.
