x86/paravirt: Trace contended_release on unlock
On PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS=y kernels queued_spin_unlock() is dispatched through a static_call(). Those PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS=y kernels are quite popular. Gating contended_release behind a static branch would leave a NOP on the unlock hot path even, when the tracepoint is disabled. Since the static_call() is already present, swap its target to a traced unlock, when the tracepoint is enabled instead. When contended_release tracepoint is disabled the target is the plain unlock (an inline store on native x86_64), so the unlock path is unchanged and the tracepoint is truly zero-cost. Provide two traced variants, native_queued_spin_unlock_traced() and pv_queued_spin_unlock_traced(), so each tail-calls its own base unlock directly rather than recursing through the now-traced static_call(). Teach pv_is_native_spin_unlock() that the traced native variant still counts as native. Only PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS=y is affected. PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS=n keeps the generic static-branch path.
