Linus suggested to replace

 #ifndef CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_MUTEX_CPU_RELAX
 #define arch_mutex_cpu_relax() cpu_relax()
 #endif

with just a simple

  #ifndef arch_mutex_cpu_relax
  # define arch_mutex_cpu_relax() cpu_relax()
  #endif

to get rid of CONFIG_HAVE_CPU_RELAX_SIMPLE. So architectures can
simply define arch_mutex_cpu_relax if they want an architecture
specific function instead of having to add a select statement in
their Kconfig in addition.

<title>mutexes, sched: Introduce arch_mutex_cpu_relax()</title>

The spinning mutex implementation uses cpu_relax() in busy loops as a
compiler barrier. Depending on the architecture, cpu_relax() may do more
than needed in this specific mutex spin loops. On System z we also give
up the time slice of the virtual cpu in cpu_relax(), which prevents
effective spinning on the mutex.

This patch replaces cpu_relax() in the spinning mutex code with
arch_mutex_cpu_relax(), which can be defined by each architecture that
selects HAVE_ARCH_MUTEX_CPU_RELAX. The default is still cpu_relax(), so
this patch should not affect other architectures than System z for now.
