[PATCH 2/6] x86: move decision about clearing slowpath flag into arch_spin_lock()

[Juergen Gross <jgross@suse.com>]

The decision whether the slowpath flag is to be cleared for
paravirtualized spinlocks is located in
__ticket_check_and_clear_slowpath() today.

Move that decision into arch_spin_lock() and add an unlikely attribute
to it to avoid calling a function in case the compiler chooses not to
inline __ticket_check_and_clear_slowpath() and the slowpath flag isn't
set.
