If _Q_SLOW_VAL has been set, the vCPU state must have been vcpu_hashed.
The extra check at the end of __pv_queued_spin_unlock() is unnecessary
and can be removed.

For an over-committed guest with more vCPUs than physical CPUs
available, it is possible that a vCPU may be kicked twice before
getting the lock - once before it becomes queue head and once again
before it gets the lock. All these CPU kicking and halting (VMEXIT)
can be expensive and slow down system performance.
This patch adds a new vCPU state (vcpu_hashed) which enables the code
to delay CPU kicking until at unlock time. Once this state is set,
the new lock holder will set _Q_SLOW_VAL and fill in the hash table
on behalf of the halted queue head vCPU. The original vcpu_halted
state will be used by pv_wait_node() only to differentiate other
queue nodes from the qeue head.

When we unlock in __pv_queued_spin_unlock(), a failed cmpxchg() on the lock
value indicates that we need to take the slow-path and unhash the
corresponding node blocked on the lock.
Since a failed cmpxchg() does not provide any memory-ordering guarantees,
it is possible that the node data could be read before the cmpxchg() on
weakly-ordered architectures and therefore return a stale value, leading
to hash corruption and/or a BUG().
This patch adds an smb_rmb() following the failed cmpxchg operation, so
that the unhashing is ordered after the lock has been checked.

- Rename the on-stack variable to match the datastructure variable,
- place the cmpxchg back under the comment that explains it,
- clean up the WARN() statement to avoid superfluous conditionals
and line-breaks.

Enabling locking-selftest in a VM guest may cause the following
kernel panic:
kernel BUG at .../kernel/locking/qspinlock_paravirt.h:137!
This is due to the fact that the pvqspinlock unlock function is
expecting either a _Q_LOCKED_VAL or _Q_SLOW_VAL in the lock
byte. This patch prevents that bug report by ignoring it when
debug_locks_silent is set. Otherwise, a warning will be printed
if it contains an unexpected value.
With this patch applied, the kernel locking-selftest completed
without any noise.

Since set_mb() is really about an smp_mb() -- not a IO/DMA barrier
like mb() rename it to match the recent smp_load_acquire() and
smp_store_release().

The xchg() function was used in pv_wait_node() to set a certain
value and provide a memory barrier which is what the set_mb()
function is for. This patch replaces the xchg() call by
set_mb().

Provide a separate (second) version of the spin_lock_slowpath for
paravirt along with a special unlock path.
The second slowpath is generated by adding a few pv hooks to the
normal slowpath, but where those will compile away for the native
case, they expand into special wait/wake code for the pv version.
The actual MCS queue can use extra storage in the mcs_nodes[] array to
keep track of state and therefore uses directed wakeups.
The head contender has no such storage directly visible to the
unlocker. So the unlocker searches a hash table with open addressing
using a simple binary Galois linear feedback shift register.
