spin_is_locked() always returns false in uniprocessor configurations

It may be helpful to assess whether any of these sites should be converted
to lockdep_assert_held() so they have no cost when lockdep isn't enabled
but still reveal problems when debugging.



Possibly, but that would need to be done by someone with better knowledge
about locking and the code than me.
