locking/qspinlock/x86: Increase _Q_PENDING_LOOPS upper bound
commit b247be3fe89b6aba928bf80f4453d1c4ba8d2063 upstream.
On x86, atomic_cond_read_relaxed will busy-wait with a cpu_relax() loop,
so it is desirable to increase the number of times we spin on the qspinlock
lockword when it is found to be transitioning from pending to locked.
According to Waiman Long:
| Ideally, the spinning times should be at least a few times the typical
| cacheline load time from memory which I think can be down to 100ns or
| so for each cacheline load with the newest systems or up to several
| hundreds ns for older systems.
which in his benchmarking corresponded to 512 iterations.
