    locking/core: Remove {read,spin,write}_can_lock()
    
    Outside of the locking code itself, {read,spin,write}_can_lock() have no
    users in tree. Apparmor (the last remaining user of write_can_lock()) got
    moved over to lockdep by the previous patch.
    
    This patch removes the use of {read,spin,write}_can_lock() from the
    BUILD_LOCK_OPS macro, deferring to the trylock operation for testing the
    lock status, and subsequently removes the unused macros altogether. They
    aren't guaranteed to work in a concurrent environment and can give
    incorrect results in the case of qrwlock.
