Ah duh, I never tested on UP, you have to use assert_spin_locked() there
not the direct spin_is_locked().

So your system was functioning just fine, you just got a warning for
every completed request slowing it down a lot :)

This should fix it. Jeff, can you apply that incremental to the ncq
branch? Thanks!
