x86/paravirt: add spin_lock_flags lock op
It is useful for a pv_lock_ops backend to know whether interrupts are enabled or not in the context a spin_lock is being called. This allows it to enable interrupts while spinning, which could be particularly helpful when spinning becomes blocking. The default implementation just calls the normal spin_lock op, ignoring the flags. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
