x86: spinlock use LOCK_PREFIX

Since we are now using DS prefixes instead of NOP to remove LOCK
prefixes, there is no longer any problems with instruction boundaries
moving around.

Unless there a rationale for this, I think these be changed to LOCK_PREFIX
too.

grep "lock ;" include/asm-x86/spinlock.h
         "lock ; cmpxchgw %w1,%2\n\t"
  asm volatile("lock ; xaddl %0, %1\n"
         "lock ; cmpxchgl %1,%2\n\t"

Applies to 2.6.27-rc2.
