Subject: [PATCH v3 2/4] locking/qspinlock_stat: Track the no MCS node available case

Track the number of slowpath locking operations that are being done
without any MCS node available as well renaming lock_index[123] to make
them more descriptive.

Using these stat counters is one way to find out if a code path is
being exercised.
