Subject: [PATCH v3 3/7] locking/pvqspinlock: Collect slowpath lock statistics

This patch enables the accumulation of kicking and waiting related
PV qspinlock statistics when the new QUEUED_LOCK_STAT configuration
option is selected. It also enables the collection of kicking and
wakeup latencies which have a heavy dependency on the CPUs being used.

The measured latencies for different CPUs are:

	CPU		Wakeup		Kicking
	---		------		-------
	Haswell-EX	89.8us		 7.4us
	Westmere-EX	67.6us		 9.3us

The measured latencies varied a bit from run-to-run. The wakeup
latency is much higher than the kicking latency.

A sample of statistics counts after a kernel build (no CPU overcommit)
was:

hash_hops_count=43
kick_latencies=5783565492
kick_time_count=640269
lock_kick_count=640238
pending_fail_count=10672
pending_lock_count=2946871
spurious_wakeup=14
unlock_kick_count=38
wait_again_count=4
wait_head_count=41
wait_node_count=640242
wake_latencies=42491684295
