2014-03-11locking/mutexes: Introduce cancelable MCS lock for adaptive spinningPeter Zijlstra
Since we want a task waiting for a mutex_lock() to go to sleep and reschedule on need_resched() we must be able to abort the mcs_spin_lock() around the adaptive spin. Therefore implement a cancelable mcs lock.
