completion: Replace spin_unlock_wait() with lock/unlock pair
There is no agreed-upon definition of spin_unlock_wait()'s semantics,
and it appears that all callers could do just as well with a lock/unlock
pair.  This commit therefore replaces the spin_unlock_wait() call in
completion_done() with spin_lock() followed immediately by spin_unlock().
This should be safe from a performance perspective because the lock
will be held only the wakeup happens really quickly.
