s390/locking: Reenable optimistic spinning
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit 4badad3 (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).
