This is to fix some lock holder preemption issues. Some other locks implementation do a spin loop before acquiring the lock itself. Currently kernel has an interface of bool vcpu_is_preempted(int cpu). It takes the cpu as parameter and return true if the cpu is preempted. Then kernel can break the spin loops upon on the retval of vcpu_is_preempted. As kernel has used this interface, So lets support it. To deal with kernel and kvm/xen, add vcpu_is_preempted into struct pv_lock_ops. Then kvm or xen could provide their own implementation to support vcpu_is_preempted.
