asm-generic: qspinlock: fix queued_spin_value_unlocked() implementation
We really don't want to do atomic_read() or anything like that, since we already have the value, not the lock. The whole point of this is that we've loaded the lock from memory, and we want to check whether the value we loaded was a locked one or not. The main use of this is the lockref code, which loads both the lock and the reference count in one atomic operation, and then works on that combined value. With the atomic_read(), the compiler would pointlessly spill the value to the stack, in order to then be able to read it back "atomically". This is the qspinlock version of commit c6f4a900 ("asm-generic: ticket-lock: Optimize arch_spin_value_unlocked()") which fixed this same bug for ticket locks.
