This patch set aims to fix lock holder preemption issues.

test-case:
perf record -a perf bench sched messaging -g 400 -p && perf report

We introduce interface bool vcpu_is_preempted(int cpu) and use it in some spin
loops of osq_lock, rwsem_spin_on_owner and mutex_spin_on_owner.
These spin_on_onwer variant also cause rcu stall before we apply this patch set

Pan Xinhui (4):
  kernel/sched: introduce vcpu preempted check interface
  powerpc/spinlock: support vcpu preempted check
  locking/osq: Drop the overhead of osq_lock()
  kernel/locking: Drop the overhead of {mutex,rwsem}_spin_on_owner

for the full series. With my patch on top this really improves
some benchmarks for overcommitted KVM guests.
