[PATCH] s390: Increase spinlock retry code performance
Currently the code tries up to spin_retry times to grab a lock using the cs instruction. The cs instruction has exclusive access to a memory region and therefore invalidates the appropiate cache line of all other cpus. If there is contention on a lock this leads to cache line trashing. This can be avoided if we first check wether a cs instruction is likely to succeed before the instruction gets actually executed.
