[PATCH] x86: remove byte locks

[Jiri Kosina]

Remove byte locks implementation, which was introduced by Jeremy in 
8efcbab6 ("paravirt: introduce a "lock-byte" spinlock implementation"), 
but turned out to be dead code that is not used by any in-kernel 
virtualization guest (Xen uses its own variant of spinlocks implementation 
and KVM is not planning to move to byte locks).
