locking/qspinlock/x86: Fix performance regression under unaccelerated VMs Dave ran into horrible performance on a VM without PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS set and Linus noted that the test-and-set implementation was retarded. One should spin on the variable with a load, not a RMW. While there, remove 'queued' from the name, as the lock isn't queued at all, but a simple test-and-set.
