    locking/pvstat: Separate wait_again and spurious wakeup stats · 08be8f63

    Currently there are overlap in the pvqspinlock wait_again and
    spurious_wakeup stat counters. Because of lock stealing, it is
    no longer possible to accurately determine if spurious wakeup has
    happened in the queue head.  As they track both the queue node and
    queue head status, it is also hard to tell how many of those comes
    from the queue head and how many from the queue node.
    
    This patch changes the accounting rules so that spurious wakeup is
    only tracked in the queue node. The wait_again count, however, is
    only tracked in the queue head when the vCPU failed to acquire the
    lock after a vCPU kick. This should give a much better indication of
    the wait-kick dynamics in the queue node and the queue head.
