rqspinlock: Add deadlock detection and recovery While the timeout logic provides guarantees for the waiter's forward progress, the time until a stalling waiter unblocks can still be long. The default timeout of 1/4 sec can be excessively long for some use cases. Additionally, custom timeouts may exacerbate recovery time. Introduce logic to detect common cases of deadlocks and perform quicker recovery. This is done by dividing the time from entry into the locking slow path until the timeout into intervals of 1 ms. Then, after each interval elapses, deadlock detection is performed, while also polling the lock word to ensure we can quickly break out of the detection logic and proceed with lock acquisition. A 'held_locks' table is maintained per-CPU where the entry at the bottom denotes a lock being waited for or already taken. Entries coming before it denote locks that are already held. The current CPU's table can thus be looked at to detect AA deadlocks. The tables from other CPUs can be looked at to discover ABBA situations. Finally, when a matching entry for the lock being taken on the current CPU is found on some other CPU, a deadlock situation is detected. This function can take a long time, therefore the lock word is constantly polled in each loop iteration to ensure we can preempt detection and proceed with lock acquisition, using the is_lock_released check. We set 'spin' member of rqspinlock_timeout struct to 0 to trigger deadlock checks immediately to perform faster recovery. Note: Extending lock word size by 4 bytes to record owner CPU can allow faster detection for ABBA. It is typically the owner which participates in a ABBA situation. However, to keep compatibility with existing lock words in the kernel (struct qspinlock), and given deadlocks are a rare event triggered by bugs, we choose to favor compatibility over faster detection. The release_held_lock_entry function requires an smp_wmb, while the release store on unlock will provide the necessary ordering for us. Add comments to document the subtleties of why this is correct. It is possible for stores to be reordered still, but in the context of the deadlock detection algorithm, a release barrier is sufficient and needn't be stronger for unlock's case.

* we may have a situation as follows:
*
* <error> for lock B
* release_held_lock_entry
*
* try_cmpxchg_acquire for lock A
* grab_held_lock_entry
*
* Lack of any ordering means reordering may occur such that dec, inc

* holder of lock B (which this CPU failed to acquire) to now observe it
* as being attempted on this CPU, and may lead to misdetection (if this
* CPU holds a lock it is attempting to acquire, leading to false ABBA
* diagnosis).
*
* In case of unlock, we will always do a release on the lock word after
* releasing the entry, ensuring that other CPUs cannot hold the lock
* (and make conclusions about deadlocks) until the entry has been
* cleared on the local CPU, preventing any anomalies. Reordering is
* still possible there, but a remote CPU cannot observe a lock in our
* table which it is already holding, since visibility entails our
* release store for the said lock has not retired.
*
* In theory we don't have a problem if the dec and WRITE_ONCE above get
* reordered with each other, we either notice an empty NULL entry on
* top (if dec succeeds WRITE_ONCE), or a potentially stale entry which
* cannot be observed (if dec precedes WRITE_ONCE).
*
* Emit the write barrier _before_ the dec, this permits dec-inc
* reordering but that is harmless as we'd have new entry set to NULL
* already, i.e. they cannot precede the NULL store above.
