[PATCH v3 3/4] locking/osq: Drop the overhead of osq_lock()

[Pan Xinhui <xinhui.pan@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

An over-committed guest with more vCPUs than pCPUs has a heavy overhead in
osq_lock().

This is because vCPU A hold the osq lock and yield out, vCPU B wait per_cpu
node->locked to be set. IOW, vCPU B wait vCPU A to run and unlock the osq
lock.

Kernel has an interface bool vcpu_is_preempted(int cpu) to see if a vCPU is
currently running or not. So break the spin loops on true condition.

test case:
perf record -a perf bench sched messaging -g 400 -p && perf report

before patch:
18.09%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] osq_lock
12.28%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] rwsem_spin_on_owner
 5.27%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] mutex_unlock
 3.89%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] wait_consider_task
 3.64%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] _raw_write_lock_irq
 3.41%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] mutex_spin_on_owner.is
 2.49%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] system_call

after patch:
20.68%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] mutex_spin_on_owner
 8.45%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] mutex_unlock
 4.12%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] system_call
 3.01%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] system_call_common

 2.64%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] rwsem_spin_on_owner
 2.00%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] osq_lock
