[PATCH] make spin_is_locked use an explicit signed char case

This is a trivial patch from the XFS tree and allows to use spinlock
debugging with code that is compiled with -funsigned-char. XFS itself
shouldn't need -funsigned-char anymore, but doing the right thing in
spinlock.h doesn't cost anything.
