Subject: [PATCH] docs: kernel-hacking: Remove inappropriate text

Remove inappropriate sexual (and ableist) text from the locking
documentation, aligning it with the kernel code-of-conduct. As the text
was unrelated to locking, this change streamlines the document and
improves readability.

 Locking in the Linux Kernel

-simple**.
+If I could give you one piece of advice on locking: **keep it simple**.
 
 Be reluctant to introduce new locks.
