[PATCH] disable debugging version of write_lock()
We've confirmed that the debug version of write_lock() can get stuck for long enough to cause NMI watchdog timeouts and hence a crash. We don't know why, yet. Disable it for now. Also disable the similar read_lock() code. Just in case. Thanks to Dave Olson <olson@unixfolk.com> for reporting and testing.
