This patch reverts commit 75437bb304b20 (locking/pvqspinlock: Don't wait if vCPU is preempted), we found great regression caused by this commit.
Xeon Skylake box, 2 sockets, 40 cores, 80 threads, three VMs, each is 80 vCPUs. The score of ebizzy -M can reduce from 13000-14000 records/s to 1700-1800 records/s with this commit.

Exit from aggressive wait-early mechanism can result in yield premature and incur extra scheduling latency in over-subscribe scenario.
