locking: Allow arch-inlined spinlocks

This allows an architecture to specify per lock variant if the
locking code should be kept out-of-line or inlined.

If an architecure wants out-of-line locking code no change is
needed. To force inlining of e.g. spin_lock() the line:

  #define __always_inline__spin_lock

needs to be added to arch/<...>/include/asm/spinlock.h

If CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK or CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK are
defined the per architecture defines are (partly) ignored and
still out-of-line spinlock code will be generated.
