[PATCH v9 09/19] qspinlock: Prepare for unfair lock support

From: Waiman Long
Date: Thu Apr 17 2014 - 11:08:57 EST


If unfair lock is supported, the lock acquisition loop at the end of
the queue_spin_lock_slowpath() function may need to detect the fact
the lock can be stolen. Code are added for the stolen lock detection.
