[PATCH v2] locking/qspinlock: Use __this_cpu_dec instead

[Pan Xinhui]

queued_spin_lock_slowpath should not worry about another
queued_spin_lock_slowpath which runs in interrupt changes node->count by
accident because node->count keeps the same value everytime we
enter/leave queued_spin_lock_slowpath.

On some archs this_cpu_dec will save/restore irq flags, this will give a
heavy work load. Lets use __this_cpu_dec instead.

locking/qspinlock: Use __this_cpu_dec() instead of full-blown this_cpu_dec()

queued_spin_lock_slowpath() should not worry about another
queued_spin_lock_slowpath() running in interrupt context and
changing node->count by accident, because node->count keeps
the same value every time we enter/leave queued_spin_lock_slowpath().

On some architectures this_cpu_dec() will save/restore irq flags,
which has high overhead. Use the much cheaper __this_cpu_dec() instead.
