Document SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED/RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED deprecation

Apparently it's not cool anymore to use SPIN/RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED.  There's
some mention of this in Documentation/spinlocks.txt, but that only talks
about dynamic initialisation.

A comment in the code mentioning the preferred usage would be good IMHO.
