We currently always come to __cmpwait() through smp_cond_load_relaxed()
and queued_spin_lock_slowpath() adds another invocation. However, isn't
the reason we're hitting the BUILD_BUG() because the switch fails to find
a case for 16, not because it fails to find cases for 1 or 2? The new
invocation passes a pointer to a struct mcs_spinlock, which looks like
it has size 16. We need to ensure that when ptr points to a pointer that
we pass the size of uintptr_t.

No matter what sizes we're failing on, if we do this then
queued_spin_lock_slowpath() won't be able to take advantage of Zawrs.
