There are cases where a guest tries to switch spinlocks to bare metal
behavior (e.g. by setting "xen_nopvspin" boot parameter). Today this
has the downside of falling back to unfair test and set scheme for
qspinlocks due to virt_spin_lock() detecting the virtualized
environment.

Make virt_spin_lock() a paravirt operation in order to enable users
to select an explicit behavior like bare metal.

I think you can take the above if statement out as you has done test in
native_pv_lock_init(). So the test will also be false here.

As this patch series is x86 specific, you should probably add "x86/" in
front of paravirt in the patch titles.
