[PATCH V2] asm-generic: ticket-lock: Optimize arch_spin_value_unlocked

From: Guo Ren <guoren at linux.alibaba.com>

The arch_spin_value_unlocked would cause an unnecessary memory
access to the contended value. Although it won't cause a significant
performance gap in most architectures, the arch_spin_value_unlocked
argument contains enough information. Thus, remove unnecessary
atomic_read in arch_spin_value_unlocked().

The caller of arch_spin_value_unlocked() could benefit from this
change. Currently, the only caller is lockref.
