[PATCH -mm 5/6] cpu_relax(): use in ACPI lock

[Andreas Mohr <andi@rhlx01.fht-esslingen.de>]

Use cpu_relax() in __acpi_acquire_global_lock() etc.


This could be considered overkill given the previous unlikely(),
but it is busy-looping in case of false condition after all...

Tested on 2.6.17-mm1, i386 only (no x86_64 here).
