[PATCH RFC v4 4/4] RISC-V: paravirt: Support nopvspin to disable PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS

[GUO Ren (XuanTie)]

VM guests should fall back to a Test-and-Set spinlock when
PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS is disabled, because fair locks suffer from severe
lock-holder preemption issues. The virt_spin_lock_key shortcuts
queued_spin_lock_slowpath(), allowing virt_spin_lock() to hijack it.
See commit 43b3f02899f7 ("locking/qspinlock/x86: Fix performance
regression under unaccelerated VMs").

Add a static key controlling whether virt_spin_lock() is called, and
add nopvspin support mirroring x86.
