Subject: [PATCH v10 09/19] qspinlock: Prepare for unfair lock support

If unfair lock is supported, the lock acquisition loop at the end of
the queue_spin_lock_slowpath() function may need to detect the fact
the lock can be stolen. Code are added for the stolen lock detection.

A new qhead macro is also defined as a shorthand for mcs.locked.
