Waiman Long cd0272fab7 locking/pvqspinlock: Queue node adaptive spinning
In an overcommitted guest where some vCPUs have to be halted to make
forward progress in other areas, it is highly likely that a vCPU later
in the spinlock queue will be spinning while the ones earlier in the
queue would have been halted. The spinning in the later vCPUs is then
just a waste of precious CPU cycles because they are not going to
get the lock soon as the earlier ones have to be woken up and take
their turn to get the lock.

This patch implements an adaptive spinning mechanism where the vCPU
will call pv_wait() if the previous vCPU is not running.

Linux kernel builds were run in KVM guest on an 8-socket, 4
cores/socket Westmere-EX system and a 4-socket, 8 cores/socket
Haswell-EX system. Both systems are configured to have 32 physical
CPUs. The kernel build times before and after the patch were:

		    Westmere			Haswell
  Patch		32 vCPUs    48 vCPUs	32 vCPUs    48 vCPUs
  -----		--------    --------    --------    --------
  Before patch   3m02.3s     5m00.2s     1m43.7s     3m03.5s
  After patch    3m03.0s     4m37.5s	 1m43.0s     2m47.2s

For 32 vCPUs, this patch doesn't cause any noticeable change in
performance. For 48 vCPUs (over-committed), there is about 8%
performance improvement.

* pv_kick(cpu) -- wakes a suspended vcpu
