2025-03-19	rqspinlock: Drop PV and virtualization support	Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi	1	-90/+1
	Changes to rqspinlock in subsequent commits will be algorithmic modifications, which won't remain in agreement with the implementations of paravirt spin lock and virt_spin_lock support. These future changes include measures for terminating waiting loops in slow path after a certain point. While using a fair lock like qspinlock directly inside virtual machines leads to suboptimal performance under certain conditions, we cannot use the existing virtualization support before we make it resilient as well. Therefore, drop it for now. Note that we need to drop qspinlock_stat.h, as it's only relevant in case of CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS=y, but we need to keep lock_events.h in the includes, which was indirectly pulled in before.

2025-03-19	rqspinlock: Add rqspinlock.h header	Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi	2	-1/+21
	This header contains the public declarations usable in the rest of the kernel for rqspinlock. Let's also type alias qspinlock to rqspinlock_t to ensure consistent use of the new lock type. We want to remove dependence on the qspinlock type in later patches as we need to provide a test-and-set fallback, hence begin abstracting away from now onwards.
