locking/osq: Break out of spin-wait busy waiting loop for a preempted vCPU in osq_lock() 

An over-committed guest with more vCPUs than pCPUs has a heavy overload
in osq_lock().

This is because if vCPU-A holds the osq lock and yields out, vCPU-B ends
up waiting for per_cpu node->locked to be set. IOW, vCPU-B waits for
vCPU-A to run and unlock the osq lock.

Use the new vcpu_is_preempted(cpu) interface to detect if a vCPU is
currently running or not, and break out of the spin-loop if so.

test case:

 $ perf record -a perf bench sched messaging -g 400 -p && perf report
