The spin_lock_init macro stringifies it's argument and uses that as a
name for the lock in the debugging.

By re-executing spin_lock_init (have not checked if that harms
anything, but it should be ok) in the _macro_ the key changes from
"lock" for all three locks to the actual argument
"&acpi_gbl_global_lock_pending_lock", "&acpi_gbl_gpe_lock" or
"&acpi_gbl_hardware_lock".
