Queued spinlocks have shown to have good performance and fairness

the standard spinlock is far simpler and smaller code, and single
chips with a handful of cores is unlikely to show any improvement.
CONFIG_EXPERT still allows this to be changed, e.g., to help debug
performance or correctness issues.
Applied to powerpc/next.
