Implement simple paravirt support for the qspinlock.
Provide a separate (second) version of the spin_lock_slowpath for
paravirt along with a special unlock path.
The second slowpath is generated by adding a few pv hooks to the
normal slowpath, but where those will compile away for the native
case, they expand into special wait/wake code for the pv version.
The actual MCS queue can use extra storage in the mcs_nodes[] array to
keep track of state and therefore uses directed wakeups.
The head contender has no such storage available and reverts to the
per-cpu lock entry similar to the current kvm code. We can do a single
enrty because any nesting will wake the vcpu and cause the lower loop
to retry.
