Just move the whole "spin_or_schedule()" into sched.c, and you're all
done.
Yeah, that requires having sched.c know a bit about mutex locking rules,
but the data structures are already exported in <linux/mutex.h>, and while
_normal_ code should never care or know exactly how it is used, I think
the scheduler might as well. Mutexes are clearly very much a scheduling
entity, so it's not too much of a break with internal knowledge.
