docs: kernel-hacking: Remove inappropriate text

was unrelated to locking, this change streamlines the document and
improves readability.

than yourself. But if I had to give you advice on locking: **keep it
simple**.
If I could give you one piece of advice on locking: **keep it simple**.
Be reluctant to introduce new locks.
Strangely enough, this last one is the exact reverse of my advice when
you **have** slept with someone crazier than yourself. And you should
think about getting a big dog.
