powerpc/qspinlock: allow stealing when head of queue yields
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
If the head of queue is preventing stealing but it finds the owner vCPU
is preempted, it will yield its cycles to the owner which could cause it
to become preempted. Add an option to re-allow stealers before yielding,
and disallow them again after returning from the yield.

Disable this option by default for now, i.e., no logical change.
