locking/pvqspinlock: Relax cmpxchg's to improve performance on some architectures

Browse source 
All the locking related cmpxchg's in the following functions are
replaced with the _acquire variants:

 - pv_queued_spin_steal_lock()
 - trylock_clear_pending()

This change should help performance on architectures that use LL/SC.

The cmpxchg in pv_kick_node() is replaced with a relaxed version
with explicit memory barrier to make sure that it is fully ordered
in the writing of next->lock and the reading of pn->state whether
the cmpxchg is a success or failure without affecting performance in
non-LL/SC architectures.

On a 2-socket 12-core 96-thread Power8 system with pvqspinlock
explicitly enabled, the performance of a locking microbenchmark
with and without this patch on a 4.13-rc4 kernel with Xinhui's PPC
qspinlock patch were as follows:

  # of thread     w/o patch    with patch      % Change

       8         5054.8 Mop/s  5209.4 Mop/s     +3.1%

      32         2378.2 Mop/s  2396.0 Mop/s     +0.7%
