Subject: [PATCH] locking/pvqspinlock: Wait early if vcpu is preempted

If prev node is not in runnig state or its cpu is preempted, we need
wait early in pv_wait_node. After commit "sched/core: Introduce the
vcpu_is_preempted(cpu) interface" kernel has knowledge of one vcpu is
running or not. So lets use it.
