[PATCH v11 13/16] pvqspinlock: Enable coexistence with the unfair lock

[Waiman Long <Waiman.Long@xxxxxx>]

This patch enables the coexistence of both the PV qspinlock and
unfair lock.  When both are enabled, however, only the lock fastpath
will perform lock stealing whereas the slowpath will have that disabled
to get the best of both features.

We also need to transition a CPU spinning too long in the pending
bit code path back to the regular queuing code path so that it can
be properly halted by the PV qspinlock code.
