Subject: [PATCH v2 for-4.17 3/3] locking: Clean-up comment and #ifndef for {,queued_}spin_is_locked()

Removes "#ifndef queued_spin_is_locked" from the generic code: this is
not used _and_ it is reasonable to conclude that it'll never be.

Also removes the comment about spin_is_locked() from mutex_is_locked():
it remains valid, but not particularly useful.
