Peter Zijlstra 43b3f02899 locking/qspinlock/x86: Fix performance regression under unaccelerated VMs
Dave ran into horrible performance on a VM without PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS
set and Linus noted that the test-and-set implementation was retarded.

One should spin on the variable with a load, not a RMW.

While there, remove 'queued' from the name, as the lock isn't queued
at all, but a simple test-and-set.

/*
* The basic principle of a queue-based spinlock can best be understood
* by studying a classic queue-based spinlock implementation called the
* MCS lock. The paper below provides a good description for this kind
* of lock.
*
* http://www.cise.ufl.edu/tr/DOC/REP-1992-71.pdf
*
* This queued spinlock implementation is based on the MCS lock, however to make
* it fit the 4 bytes we assume spinlock_t to be, and preserve its existing
* API, we must modify it somehow.
*
* In particular; where the traditional MCS lock consists of a tail pointer
* (8 bytes) and needs the next pointer (another 8 bytes) of its own node to
* unlock the next pending (next->locked), we compress both these: {tail,
* next->locked} into a single u32 value.
*
* Since a spinlock disables recursion of its own context and there is a limit
* to the contexts that can nest; namely: task, softirq, hardirq, nmi. As there
* are at most 4 nesting levels, it can be encoded by a 2-bit number. Now
* we can encode the tail by combining the 2-bit nesting level with the cpu
* number. With one byte for the lock value and 3 bytes for the tail, only a
* 32-bit word is now needed. Even though we only need 1 bit for the lock,
* we extend it to a full byte to achieve better performance for architectures
* that support atomic byte write.
*
* We also change the first spinner to spin on the lock bit instead of its
* node; whereby avoiding the need to carry a node from lock to unlock, and
* preserving existing lock API. This also makes the unlock code simpler and
* faster.
*
* N.B. The current implementation only supports architectures that allow
* atomic operations on smaller 8-bit and 16-bit data types.
*
