[patch, BK-curr] nonintrusive spin-polling loop in kernel/spinlock.c

this patch, against BK-curr, implements a nonintrusive spin-polling loop
for the SMP+PREEMPT spinlock/rwlock variants, using the new *_can_lock()
primitives. (The patch also adds *_can_lock() to the UP branch of
spinlock.h, for completeness.)

build- and boot-tested on x86 SMP+PREEMPT and SMP+!PREEMPT.
