    exit: Replace spin_unlock_wait() with lock/unlock pair · 8083f293
    Paul E. McKenney authored
    There is no agreed-upon definition of spin_unlock_wait()'s semantics, and
    it appears that all callers could do just as well with a lock/unlock pair.
    This commit therefore replaces the spin_unlock_wait() call in do_exit()
    with spin_lock() followed immediately by spin_unlock().  This should be
    safe from a performance perspective because the lock is a per-task lock,
    and this is happening only at task-exit time.
