The current version of __raw_read_trylock starts with decrementing the lock
and read its new value as a separate operation after that.
That makes 3 dereferences (read, write (after sub), read) whereas
a single atomic_dec_return does only two pointers dereferences (read, write).

Impact: cleanup
Remove byte locks implementation, which was introduced by Jeremy in
8efcbab6 ("paravirt: introduce a "lock-byte" spinlock implementation"),
but turned out to be dead code that is not used by any in-kernel
virtualization guest (Xen uses its own variant of spinlocks implementation
and KVM is not planning to move to byte locks).

Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since:
a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless.
b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints.
