Spinlocks: Factor our GENERIC_LOCKBREAK in order to avoid spin withirqs disable

Subject: Spinlocks: Factor our GENERIC_LOCKBREAK in order to avoid spin with irqs disabled

The nice spinlock functions that enable interrupts while spinning are only
usable if GENERIC_LOCKBREAK is set (and we do not debug locks but lock
debugging would not be used for a production configuration).

Factor out the dependencies on the ->lock_break field from the nice functions
into a set of BREAKLOCK macros (cannot be functions since the type of the lock
variable varies).

The nice spinlock function can then also be used if !GENERIC_LOCKBREAK
