Previously we used a spinlock, in adition to the atomically manipulated ->state field, to protect the wait queue. But it's pretty simple to instead perform the locking using a flag in state. Due to 6150a1b0 BufferDescs, on platforms (like PPC) with > 1 byte spinlocks, increased their size above 64byte. As 64 bytes are the size we pad allocated BufferDescs to, this can increase false sharing; causing performance problems in turn. Together with the previous commit this reduces the size to <= 64 bytes on all common platforms.
