...spin loops upon on the retval of vcpu_is_preempted. As kernel has used this interface, So lets support it. Only pSeries need supoort it. And the fact is powerNV are built into same kernel image with pSeries. So we need return false if we are runnig as powerNV. The another fact is that lppaca->yiled_count keeps zero on powerNV. So we can just skip the machine type.

change fomr v1: a simplier definition of default vcpu_is_preempted skip mahcine type check on ppc, and add config. remove dedicated macro. add one patch to drop overload of rwsem_spin_on_owner and mutex_spin_on_owner. add more comments thanks boqun and Peter's suggestion. This patch set aims to fix lock holder preemption issues. test-case: perf record -a perf bench sched messaging -g
