Subject: [PATCH 17/29] x86, tsx: Enable lock elision for mutexes

From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>

We use the generic elision macros and the mutex hook infrastructure
added earlier. With that attempt to lock elide mutexes using
the elide() macros and the usual elision wrapping pattern.

Lock elision does not allow modifying the lock itself, so it's not
possible to set the lock owner. So we don't do that when the lock
is elided. Lock owner is only used for debugging or adaptive spinning,
but both do not apply with elision. All the checking is still done
when the lock falls back to real locking.
