powerpc/qspinlock: allow lock stealing in trylock and lock fastpath

This change allows trylock to steal the lock. It also allows the initial
lock attempt to steal the lock rather than bailing out and going to the
slow path.

This gives trylock more strength: without this a continually-contended
lock will never permit a trylock to succeed. With this change, the
trylock has a small but non-zero chance.

It also gives the lock fastpath most of the benefit of passing the
reservation back through to the steal loop in the slow path without the
complexity.
