The lightweight spinlock checks verify that a spinlock has either value 0 (spinlock locked) and that not any other bits than in __ARCH_SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED_VAL is set. This breaks the current LWS code, which writes the address of the lock into the lock word to unlock it, which was an optimization to save one assembler instruction. Fix it by making spinlock_types.h accessible for asm code, change the LWS spinlock-unlocking code to write __ARCH_SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED_VAL into the lock word, and add some missing lightweight spinlock checks to the LWS path. Finally, make the spinlock checks dependend on DEBUG_KERNEL.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
