[PATCH] ppc64: Replace custom locking code with a spinlock
The hvlpevent_queue (formally ItLpQueue) has a member called xInUseWord
which is used for serialising access to the queue. Because it's a word
(ie. 32 bit) there's a custom 32-bit version of test_and_set_bit() or
thereabouts in ItLpQueue.c.
The xInUseWord is not shared with they hypervisor, so we can replace it
with a spinlock and remove the custom code.
There is also another locking mechanism (ItLpQueueInProcess). This is
redundant because it's only manipulated while the lock's held. Remove it.
