Subject: [PATCH next 2/5] locking/osq_lock: Avoid dirtying the local cpu's
 'node' in the osq_lock() fast path.

osq_lock() starts by setting node->next to NULL and node->locked to 0.
Careful analysis shows that node->next is always NULL on entry.

node->locked is set non-zero by another cpu to force a wakeup.
This can only happen after the 'prev->next = node' assignment,
so locked can be set to zero just before that (along with the assignment
to node->prev).

Only initialise node->cpu once, after that use its value instead
of smp_processor_id() - which is probably a real function call.

Should reduce cache-line bouncing a little.
