spin_lock(x) and spin_unlock(x) are both a nop in this case, so what
is the problem passing in a NULL?  The argument is arbitrary and should
should just ignored, right?

If both CONFIG_SMP and CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK are disabled, we
end up with these definitions in linux/spinlock.h

#define spin_lock(lock)		_spin_lock(lock)

#define _spin_lock(lock)	\
do { \
	preempt_disable(); \
	_raw_spin_lock(lock); \
	__acquire(lock); \
} while(0)

#define _raw_spin_lock(lock)	do { (void)(lock); } while(0)

What kind of warning do you get?
