Right. but waiting performed by the hardware does not take less long 
than waiting performed by software :-) .

In all cashed that contain the memory location, the appropriate cache 
line will be invalidated. Thus it needs to be reloaded from main memory 
before it can be accessed by the processor. This might introduce a huge 
delay in a processor a long time after the the locking instruction was 
performed by some different processor.
