FS-Cache: Don't use spin_is_locked() in assertions
Under certain circumstances, spin_is_locked() is hardwired to 0 - even when the code would normally be in a locked section where it should return 1. This means it cannot be used for an assertion that checks that a spinlock is locked. Remove such usages from FS-Cache. The following oops might otherwise be observed: FS-Cache: Assertion failed BUG: failure at fs/fscache/operation.c:270/fscache_start_operations()! Kernel panic - not syncing: BUG!
