bit_spinlock: don't play preemption games inside the busy loop
When we are waiting for the bit-lock to be released, and are looping over the 'cpu_relax()' should not be doing anything else - otherwise we miss the point of trying to do the whole 'cpu_relax()'. Do the preemption enable/disable around the loop, rather than inside of it. Noticed when I was looking at the code generation for the dcache __d_drop usage, and the code just looked very odd.
