[PATCH] docs: kernel-hacking: Remove inappropriate text

[Alyssa Rosenzweig]

Remove inappropriate sexual (and ableist) text from the locking
documentation, aligning it with the kernel code-of-conduct. As the text
was unrelated to locking, this change streamlines the document and
improves readability.

That text dates all the way back to pre-2.4 kernels...there goes a bit
of history.  It's history that we can do without at this point, though;
patch applied, thanks.
