arch_mcs_spin_unlock_contended() has a matching function arch_mcs_spin_lock_contended(),
please see include/asm-generic/mcs_spinlock.h, so if we update this function name,
should we update the matching one as well? and update the relevant comments as well?

Before this line of the code, there is:

#ifndef arch_mcs_spin_lock_contended

...

#define arch_mcs_spin_lock_contended(l)                 \

So #ifndef should be updated too.

Thanks
