lib/ubsan: don't serialize UBSAN report

At the moment, UBSAN report will be serialized using a spin_lock().  On
RT-systems, spinlocks are turned to rt_spin_lock and may sleep.  This
will result to the following splat if the undefined behavior is in a
context that can sleep:

The spin_lock() will protect against multiple CPUs to output a report
together, I guess to prevent them from being interleaved.  However, they
can still interleave with other messages (and even splat from
__might_sleep).

So the lock usefulness seems pretty limited.  Rather than trying to
accomodate RT-system by switching to a raw_spin_lock(), the lock is now
completely dropped.
