[PATCH] locking/qspinlock: Use this_cpu_ptr instead of this_cpu_dec

From: Pan Xinhui
Date: Fri Jun 03 2016 - 05:49:35 EST


queued_spin_lock_slowpath should not worry about interrupt change
node->count by accident because ->count is inc and dec when we
enter/leave queued_spin_lock_slowpath.

So this_cpu_dec() does some no point things here, lets use this_cpu_ptr
for a small optimization.
