Bibo Mao e5ba90abb2 LoongArch: Revert qspinlock to test-and-set simple lock on VM
Similar with x86, when VM is detected, revert to a simple test-and-set
lock to avoid the horrors of queue preemption.

Tested on 3C5000 Dual-way machine with 32 cores and 2 numa nodes,
test case is kcbench on kernel mainline 6.10, the detailed command is
"kcbench --src /root/src/linux"

Performance on host machine
                      kernel compile time       performance impact
   Original           150.29 seconds
   With patch         150.19 seconds            almost no impact

Performance on virtual machine:
1. 1 VM with 32 vCPUs and 2 numa node, numa node pinned
                      kernel compile time       performance impact
   Original           170.87 seconds
   With patch         171.73 seconds            almost no impact

2. 2 VMs, each VM with 32 vCPUs and 2 numa node, numa node pinned
                      kernel compile time       performance impact
   Original           2362.04 seconds
   With patch         354.73  seconds            +565%

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
