Wanpeng Li e409b81d9d Revert "locking/pvqspinlock: Don't wait if vCPU is preempted" 
commit 89340d0935 upstream.

This patch reverts commit 75437bb304 (locking/pvqspinlock: Don't
wait if vCPU is preempted).  A large performance regression was caused
by this commit.  on over-subscription scenarios.

The test was run on a Xeon Skylake box, 2 sockets, 40 cores, 80 threads,
with three VMs of 80 vCPUs each.  The score of ebizzy -M is reduced from
13000-14000 records/s to 1700-1800 records/s:

          Host                Guest                score

vanilla w/o kvm optimizations     upstream    1700-1800 records/s
vanilla w/o kvm optimizations     revert      13000-14000 records/s
vanilla w/ kvm optimizations      upstream    4500-5000 records/s
vanilla w/ kvm optimizations      revert      14000-15500 records/s

Exit from aggressive wait-early mechanism can result in premature yield
and extra scheduling latency.

Actually, only 6% of wait_early events are caused by vcpu_is_preempted()
being true.  However, when one vCPU voluntarily releases its vCPU, all
the subsequently waiters in the queue will do the same and the cascading
effect leads to bad performance.

kvm optimizations:
[1] commit d73eb57b80 (KVM: Boost vCPUs that are delivering interrupts)
[2] commit 266e85a5ec (KVM: X86: Boost queue head vCPU to mitigate lock waiter preemption)
