To support upcoming changes that require inspecting the return value
once the conditional waiting loop in arch_mcs_spin_lock_contended
terminates, modify the macro to preserve the result of
smp_cond_load_acquire. This enables checking the return value as needed,
which will help disambiguate the MCS node’s locked state in future
patches.
