[PATCH v7 04/11] powerpc/spinlock: support vcpu preempted check

[Pan Xinhui]

This is to fix some lock holder preemption issues. Some other locks
implementation do a spin loop before acquiring the lock itself.
Currently kernel has an interface of bool vcpu_is_preempted(int cpu). It
takes the cpu as parameter and return true if the cpu is preempted. Then
kernel can break the spin loops upon the retval of vcpu_is_preempted.

As kernel has used this interface, So lets support it.

Only pSeries need support it. And the fact is PowerNV is 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 check.
