Using qspinlock is certainly a performance win for large systems with many cpus. Even on 1-socket system, the performance should be comparable with the current TAS spinlock. I will not suggest explicitly disabling it. Switching between TAS spinlock and qspinlock does break kABI (at least for the paravirtual version). If not, I would have backported it to RHEL8.
