Subject: [PATCH] x86: eliminate TICKET_MASK

The definition of it being questionable already (unnecessarily
including a cast), and it being used in a single place that can be
written shorter without it, remove this #define.

Along the same lines, simplify __ticket_spin_is_locked()'s main
expression, which was the more convoluted way because of needs that
went away with the recent type changes by Jeremy.

This is pure cleanup, no functional change intended.
