powerpc/qspinlock: add mcs queueing for contended waiters
This forms the basis of the qspinlock slow path.
Like generic qspinlocks and unlike the vanilla MCS algorithm, the lock
owner does not participate in the queue, only waiters. The first waiter
spins on the lock word, then when the lock is released it takes
ownership and unqueues the next waiter. This is how qspinlocks can be
implemented with the spinlock API -- lock owners don't need a node, only
waiters do.
