After thinking more about that, I think we can use all the remaining
bits in the 16-bit locked_pending. Reserving 1 bit for locked and 1 bit
for pending, there are 14 bits left. So as long as NR_CPUS < 16k
(requirement for 16-bit locked_pending), we can put all possible cpu
numbers into the lock. We can also just use smp_processor_id() without
additional percpu data.

I thought you guys are not interested in CNA. I do want to get CNA
merged, if possible. Let review the current version again and see if
there are ways we can further improve it.
