There is no store_ex pairing with this load_ex. It is not necessary and
gave wrong hint to the cache system.

This is needed because the arch_spin_unlock() code only uses an STLR
without an explicit SEV (like we have on AArch32). An event is
automatically generated when the exclusive monitor is cleared by STLR.
But without setting it with a load exclusive in arch_spin_lock() (even
though it does not acquire the lock), there won't be anything to clear,
hence no event to be generated. In this case, the WFE would wait
indefinitely.
