Yes, very likely my patches cause this. But it must be some config issue
because my test machine does not hit this and the code is "obviously
correct" - famous last words ;). I've seen zero-day robot complain as well
so I'll try the config it had sent me and see what's going on (likely
spin_is_locked() does not do what I thought under some configs...).
