So we assume that the caller will always be the CPU that is locking the
lock? Also, do we assume that the remote side knows our CPU scheme here?
smp_processor_id() returns the logical CPU and not the physical CPU
number so hopefully the remote side doesn't care about logical CPU
numbers being written to the lock value.

Perhaps it would be better to have a way to tell the hwspinlock
framework what value we want written to the lock value.

The unlock path checks proc_id so we need to update the path there too.
