[PATCH 2/3] powerpc/spinlock: support vcpu preempted check

From: Pan Xinhui
Date: Mon Jun 27 2016 - 09:43:46 EST


This is to fix some holder preemption issues. Spinning at one
vcpu which is preempted is meaningless.

Kernel need such interfaces, So lets support it.

We also should suooprt both the shared and dedicated mode.
So add lppaca_dedicated_proc macro in lppaca.h
