This patch introduces a new generic queued spinlock implementation that
can serve as an alternative to the default ticket spinlock. Compared
with the ticket spinlock, this queued spinlock should be almost as fair
as the ticket spinlock. It has about the same speed in single-thread
and it can be much faster in high contention situations especially when
the spinlock is embedded within the data structure to be protected.
Only in light to moderate contention where the average queue depth
is around 1-3 will this queued spinlock be potentially a bit slower
due to the higher slowpath overhead.
This queued spinlock is especially suit to NUMA machines with a large
number of cores as the chance of spinlock contention is much higher
in those machines. The cost of contention is also higher because of
slower inter-node memory traffic.
Due to the fact that spinlocks are acquired with preemption disabled,
the process will not be migrated to another CPU while it is trying
to get a spinlock. Ignoring interrupt handling, a CPU can only be
contending in one spinlock at any one time. Counting soft IRQ, hard
IRQ and NMI, a CPU can only have a maximum of 4 concurrent lock waiting
activities. By allocating a set of per-cpu queue nodes and used them
to form a waiting queue, we can encode the queue node address into a
much smaller 24-bit size (including CPU number and queue node index)
leaving one byte for the lock.
Please note that the queue node is only needed when waiting for the
lock. Once the lock is acquired, the queue node can be released to
be used later.

We have two flavors of the MCS spinlock: standard and cancelable (OSQ).
While each one is independent of the other, we currently mix and match
them. This patch:
- Moves the OSQ code out of mcs_spinlock.h (which only deals with the traditional
version) into include/linux/osq_lock.h. No unnecessary code is added to the
more global header file, anything locks that make use of OSQ must include
it anyway.
- Renames mcs_spinlock.c to osq_lock.c. This file only contains osq code.
- Introduces a CONFIG_LOCK_SPIN_ON_OWNER in order to only build osq_lock
if there is support for it.

The mcs_spinlock code is not meant (or suitable) as a generic locking
primitive, therefore take it away from the normal includes and place
it in kernel/locking/.
This way the locking primitives implemented there can use it as part
of their implementation but we do not risk it getting used
inapropriately.
