So I hate those names; it used to be clear this was the contended path,
not so anymore. arch_mcs_spin_lock() in particular is grossly misnamed
now.
's/arch_mcs_spin_lock/arch_mcs_spin_wait/g' could perhaps work, if you
really want to get rid of the _contended suffix.
Also, pass_lock seems unfortunately named...
