[PATCH v7 03/11] kernel/locking: Drop the overload of {mutex,rwsem}_spin_on_owner

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

An over-committed guest with more vCPUs than pCPUs has a heavy overload
in the two spin_on_owner. This blames on the lock holder preemption
issue.

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:
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
 2.83%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] copypage_power7
 2.64%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] rwsem_spin_on_owner
 2.00%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] osq_lock

after patch:
 9.99%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] mutex_unlock
 5.28%  sched-messaging  [unknown]         [H] 0xc0000000000768e0
 4.27%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] __copy_tofrom_user_power7
 3.77%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] copypage_power7
 3.24%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] _raw_write_lock_irq
 3.02%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] system_call
 2.69%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] wait_consider_task
