Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Enforce "unsigned long flags;" when spinlocking

Make it break or warn if you pass to spin_lock_irqsave() and friends
something different from "unsigned long flags;". Suprisingly large amount of
these was caught by recent commit c53421b18f205c5f97c604ae55c6a921f034b0f6 .

Idea is largely from FRV typechecking.

Note #1: checking with sparse is still needed, because a driver can save and
         pass around flags or something. So far patch is very intrusive.
Note #2: techically, we should break only if sizeof(flags) < sizeof(unsigned long),
         but hey, there is opportunity to escalate. Thus !=
Note #3: yes, would break every single buggy out-of-tree module.
