locking/pv-qspinlock: Use cmpxchg_release() in __pv_queued_spin_unlock() cmpxchg_release() is more lighweight than cmpxchg() on some archs(e.g. PPC), moreover, in __pv_queued_spin_unlock() we only needs a RELEASE in the fast path(pairing with *_try_lock() or *_lock()). And the slow path has smp_store_release too. So it's safe to use cmpxchg_release here.
