This patch enables the accumulation of unfair qspinlock statistics
when the CONFIG_QUEUED_LOCK_STAT configuration parameter is set.
The accumulated lock statistics will be reported in debugfs under
the unfair-qspinlock directory.
On a KVM guest with 32 vCPUs, the statistics counts after bootup were:
lsteal_cnts = 172219 2377 425 118 33 8 5 12 14 0 0 0
trylock_cnt = 1495372
So most of the lock stealing happened in the initial trylock before
entering the queue. Once a vCPU is in the queue, the chance of getting
the lock drop off significantly the further it is away from queue head.
