locking/qspinlock/x86: Increase _Q_PENDING_LOOPS upper bound
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.
