    ipc: Replace spin_unlock_wait() with lock/unlock pair · e0892e08

    There is no agreed-upon definition of spin_unlock_wait()'s semantics,
    and it appears that all callers could do just as well with a lock/unlock
    pair.  This commit therefore replaces the spin_unlock_wait() call in
    exit_sem() with spin_lock() followed immediately by spin_unlock().
    This should be safe from a performance perspective because exit_sem()
    is rarely invoked in production.
