This intentionally breaks direct users of zone->lock at compile time so all call sites are converted to the zone lock wrappers. Without the rename, present and future out-of-tree code could continue using spin_lock(&zone->lock) and bypass the wrappers and tracing infrastructure. No functional change intended.
