There was a namespace collision of PER_CPU lock_waiting variable when
we have both Xen and KVM enabled. 

Perhaps this week wasn't for me. Had run 100 times randconfig in a loop
for the fix sent earlier :(. 

Ingo, below delta patch should fix it, IIRC, I hope you will be folding this
back to patch 14/14 itself. Else please let me.
I have already run allnoconfig, allyesconfig, randconfig with below patch. But will
test again. This should apply on top of tip:x86/spinlocks.
