*	locking/mutexes: Introduce cancelable MCS lock for adaptive spinning	Peter Zijlstra	2014-03-11	1	-0/+15
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	Since we want a task waiting for a mutex_lock() to go to sleep and reschedule on need_resched() we must be able to abort the mcs_spin_lock() around the adaptive spin. Therefore implement a cancelable mcs lock.

*	locking: Move mcs_spinlock.h into kernel/locking/	Peter Zijlstra	2014-03-11	1	-0/+114
	The mcs_spinlock code is not meant (or suitable) as a generic locking primitive, therefore take it away from the normal includes and place it in kernel/locking/. This way the locking primitives implemented there can use it as part of their implementation but we do not risk it getting used inapropriately.
