Also, this change log needs to be a bit better. Do not assume that
people have read the previous change. A year from now, when someone does
a git blame and sees this change, they will probably curse at this
explanation.

Add here the explanation that spin_unlock() calls preempt_enable() which
can schedule. But there are several locations that explicitly call
schedule after unlocking a spin lock. To prevent the double schedule,
use this schedule_spin_unlock() API.
