<asm/smp_lock.h> PLEASE CHECK THIS. I couldn't see how unlock_kernel
could trash %eax so I deleted it from the clobbers list, but
just maybe there's something subtle going on.

This is old crud from when unlock_kernel() would actually call code in
arch/i386/lib/locks.S It stopped doing that, but the clobber wasn't
removed, thanks for doing it ;-)
