Looked through the commit again but it really doesn't change fast
paths.  The only paths which can be slower are ioc and q exits.  Can
you please do the followings?

* Share the script used for microbench.  Maybe it somehow exposes
  slower exit path?  How much regression are we talking about?

* Test with the this_q != locked_q trylock patch.

Thanks.
