Christian Borntraeger e54d01f3f2 s390/locking: Reenable optimistic spinning ...

commit 36e7fdaa1a upstream.

commit 4badad352a (locking/mutex: Disable
optimistic spinning on some architectures) fenced spinning for
architectures without proper cmpxchg.
There is no need to disable mutex spinning on s390, though:
The instructions CS,CSG and friends provide the proper guarantees.
(We dont implement cmpxchg with locks).
