Will Deacon 60ca1e5a20 mmiowb: Hook up mmiowb helpers to spinlocks and generic I/O accessors
Removing explicit calls to mmiowb() from driver code means that we must
now call into the generic mmiowb_spin_{lock,unlock}() functions from the
core spinlock code. In order to elide barriers following critical
sections without any I/O writes, we also hook into the asm-generic I/O
routines.

Waiman Long bc88c10d7e locking/spinlock/debug: Remove spinlock lockup detection code
The current spinlock lockup detection code can sometimes produce false
positives because of the unfairness of the locking algorithm itself.

So the lockup detection code is now removed. Instead, we are relying
on the NMI watchdog to detect potential lockup. We won't have lockup
detection if the watchdog isn't running.

The commented-out read-write lock lockup detection code are also
removed.
