Subject: [PATCH] s390: Remove obsolete bust_spinlock() implementation

The commit cefc8be82403cf ("Consolidate bust_spinlocks()") kept
the s390-specific implementation because of the absence of CONFIG_VT.
In fact, the only difference was calling console_unblank() instead of
unblank_screen().

The common implementation in lib/bust_spinlocks.c started to call
unblank_screen() explicitly since the commit b61312d353da187
("oops handling: ensure that any oops is flushed to the mtdoops
console").

As a result, the custom implementation is not longer necessary.
And we could get all the other improvements of the common
implementation for free.

Please remove the weak attribute from the generic implementation as
well now that the last override is gone.

I believe I sent a similar patch several weeks ago and it's
in s390 patch queue as of now, waiting for the next merge
window.

Yes, it will be added soon to the features branch of the
s390/linux.git repository on kernel.org and then hit linux-next.
