tools/memory-model: Remove out-of-date comments and code from lock.cat
lock.cat contains old comments and code referring to the possibility of LKR events that are not part of an RMW pair. This is a holdover from when I though we might end up using LKR events to implement spin_is_locked(). Reword the comments to remove this assumption and replace domain(lk-rmw) in the code with LKR.
