locking/mutex: Disable optimistic spinning on some architectures
The optimistic spin code assumes regular stores and cmpxchg() play nice; this is found to not be true for at least: parisc, sparc32, tile32, metag-lock1, arc-!llsc and hexagon.
There is further wreckage, but this in particular seemed easy to trigger, so blacklist this.
Opt in for known good archs.
