It fails to compile because the static key is only declared when
CONFIG_RISCV_COMBO_SPINLOCKS is set.

__arch_spin_lock() would use queued_spin_lock() so that would make an
"infinite recursive definition" right? And that would override the
"real" queued_spin_lock() implementation too.
But maybe I missed something!
