locking/pvqspinlock, x86: Implement the paravirt qspinlock call patching
We use the regular paravirt call patching to switch between:

  native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath()	__pv_queued_spin_lock_slowpath()
  native_queued_spin_unlock()		__pv_queued_spin_unlock()

We use a callee saved call for the unlock function which reduces the
i-cache footprint and allows 'inlining' of SPIN_UNLOCK functions
again.

We further optimize the unlock path by patching the direct call with a
"movb $0,%arg1" if we are indeed using the native unlock code. This
makes the unlock code almost as fast as the !PARAVIRT case.

This significantly lowers the overhead of having
CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS enabled, even for native code.
