[PATCH] s390/locking: Reenable optimistic spinning

[Christian Borntraeger]

commit 4badad352a6bb202ec68afa7a574c0bb961e5ebc (locking/mutex: Disable
optimistic spinning on some architectures) fenced spinning for
architectures without proper cmpxchg.
There is no need to disable mutex spinning on s390, though:
The instructions CS,CSG and friends provide the proper guarantees.
(We dont implement cmpxchg with locks).

Please note: This is a quick fix for s390, suitable for stable
as 3.16 unintenionally disabled optimistic spinning.

The proper fix is probably to use ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG
instead of introducing ARCH_SUPPORTS_ATOMIC_RMW.
