[PATCH 2/2] arm64: spinlock: only wait for a single unlock in spin_unlock_wait

Rather than wait until we observe the lock being free, we can also
return from spin_unlock_wait if we observe that the lock is now held
by somebody else, which implies that it was unlocked but we just missed
seeing it in that state.
