[patch 1/2] 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.
