This compare function looks unusual...
It should work, but sort() could be faster if the
if (a == b) test had a chance to be true eventually...

static int mm_lock_cmp(const void *a, const void *b)
{
	unsigned long la = (unsigned long)*(spinlock_t **)a;
	unsigned long lb = (unsigned long)*(spinlock_t **)b;

	cond_resched();
	if (la < lb)
		return -1;
	if (la > lb)
		return 1;
	return 0;
}
