ipc: Replace spin_unlock_wait() with lock/unlock pair
There is no agreed-upon definition of spin_unlock_wait()'s semantics, and it appears that all callers could do just as well with a lock/unlock pair. This commit therefore replaces the spin_unlock_wait() call in exit_sem() with spin_lock() followed immediately by spin_unlock(). This should be safe from a performance perspective because exit_sem() is rarely invoked in production. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
