locking/mutex: Disable optimistic spinning on some architectures
commit 4badad352a6bb202ec68afa7a574c0bb961e5ebc upstream. The optimistic spin code assumes regular stores and cmpxchg() play nice; this is found to not be true for at least: parisc, sparc32, tile32, metag-lock1, arc-!llsc and hexagon. There is further wreckage, but this in particular seemed easy to trigger, so blacklist this. Opt in for known good archs.
