There is no agreed-upon definition of spin_unlock_wait()'s semantics, and it appears that all callers could do just as well with a lock/unlock pair. This commit therefore eliminates the spin_unlock_wait() call and associated else-clause and hoists the then-clause's lock and unlock out of the "if" statement. This should be safe from a performance perspective because according to Tejun there should be few if any drivers that don't set their own error handler. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
