FS-Cache: Don't use spin_is_locked() in assertions



Under certain circumstances, spin_is_locked() is hardwired to 0 - even when the
code would normally be in a locked section where it should return 1.  This
means it cannot be used for an assertion that checks that a spinlock is locked.

Remove such usages from FS-Cache.

The following oops might otherwise be observed:
