Now that ARM has implemented its spinlocks with tickets we don't need to use the generic lockbreak algorithm. Remove the Kconfig from ARM so that we use the arch_spin_is_contended() definition from the asm header. This also saves a word in each lock because we don't need the break_lock member anymore.
