KVM: X86: Choose qspinlock when dedicated physical CPUs are available
Waiman Long mentioned that:
> Generally speaking, unfair lock performs well for VMs with a small
> number of vCPUs. Native qspinlock may perform better than pvqspinlock
> if there is vCPU pinning and there is no vCPU over-commitment.
This patch uses the KVM_HINTS_DEDICATED performance hint, which is
provided by the hypervisor admin, to choose the qspinlock algorithm
when a dedicated physical CPU is available.
PV_DEDICATED = 1, PV_UNHALT = anything: default is qspinlock
PV_DEDICATED = 0, PV_UNHALT = 1: default is Hybrid PV queued/unfair lock
PV_DEDICATED = 0, PV_UNHALT = 0: default is tas
