[PATCH] Remove acpi_os_create_lock(), acpi_os_delete_lock()

[Alexey Dobriyan]

Minimally intrusive patch to remove some overdesign in ACPI code. Based
on hch rant.

The only purpose of functions in question is to dynamically allocate
one global spinlock -- acpi_gbl_gpe_lock. Instead, create it in .bss.

 It's tempting to shoot acpi_os_release_lock() et al too.
