[PATCH 25/29] x86, tsx: Add adaption support for spinlocks

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add adaptation support for ticket spinlocks. Each spinlock keeps a skip count
on how often to skip elision. This is controlled by the abort rate.
The actual adaptation algorithm is generic and shared with other lock types.
This avoids us having to tune each spinlock individually for elision.

This adds 2 bytes to a 32bit spinlock for systems configured for more than 256
CPUs, so it's now 6 bytes instead of 4. For systems with less than 256 CPUs it expands
spinlock_t from 2 to 4 bytes.

I played around with various schemes to merge the elision count with the main
tickets, but they all reduced the maximum CPU count support too much and caused
other problems. So in the end I just added the additional 2 bytes.
