Hello! 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 series therefore removes spin_unlock_wait() and changes its users to instead use a lock/unlock pair. The commits are as follows, in three groups: 1-7. Change uses of spin_unlock_wait() and raw_spin_unlock_wait() to instead use a spin_lock/spin_unlock pair. These may be applied in any order, but must be applied before any later commits in this series. The commit logs state why I believe that these commits won't noticeably degrade performance. 8. Remove core-kernel definitions for spin_unlock_wait() and raw_spin_unlock_wait(). 9-26. Remove arch-specific definitions of arch_spin_unlock_wait(). Thoughts?
