I am not able to see how this can happen. I think all calls of
bust_spinlocks(0) is always after bust_spinlocks(1) has been done. Do
you have any particular usecase or any codepath which can make this
happen? Like, if 'x' happens then bust_spinlocks(0) will called without
a preceding call to bust_spinlocks(1)..
