[PATCH v2 tip/core/rcu 07/10] ipc: Replace spin_unlock_wait() with lock/unlock pair

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.
