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 removes the underlying arch-specific arch_spin_unlock_wait().Please don't make this one commit fopr every architecture. Once something gets removed, it gets removed. There's no point in "remove it from architecture X". If there are no more users, we're done with it, and making it be 25 patches with the same commit message instead of just one doesn't help anybody.
Apologies, I will merge them. Thanx, Paul
