linux-next: build failure after merge of the final tree

Hi all,

After merging the final tree, today's linux-next build (sparc32 defconfig)
failed like this:

In file included from include/linux/seqlock.h:29,
from include/linux/time.h:8,
from include/linux/timex.h:56,
from include/linux/sched.h:57,
from arch/sparc/kernel/asm-offsets.c:13:
include/linux/spinlock.h: In function 'spin_unlock_wait':
include/linux/spinlock.h:360: error: implicit declaration of function 'cpu_relax'

Probably the victim of some include changing ... I think it was due to
commit e66eed651fd1 ("list: remove prefetching from regular list
iterators").

I added the following patch for today (this may not be the best solution):

Subject: [PATCH] spinlock_up.h: include asm/processor.h in for cpu_relax

Commit e66eed651fd1 ("list: remove prefetching from regular list
iterators") removed the include of prefetch.h from list.h and this was
a path to including asm/processor.h. We need to include it excplicitly
now.

Fixes this build error on sparc32 (at least):

from include/linux/time.h:8,
