x86: revert replace LOCK_PREFIX in futex.h
Since we now use DS prefixes instead of NOP to remove LOCK prefixes,
there are no longer any issues with instruction boundaries moving around.
Depends on :
x86 alternatives : fix LOCK_PREFIX race with preemptible kernel and CPU hotplug

Ok, so I think this is an _excellent_ patch, but I'd like to also then use
LOCK_PREFIX in include/asm-x86/futex.h.
See commit 9d55b9923a1b7ea8193b8875c57ec940dc2ff027.

Applies to 2.6.27-rc2 (and -rc3 unless hell broke loose in futex.h between rc2
and rc3).
