Introduce helper macros that wrap around the rqspinlock slow path and provide an interface analogous to the raw_spin_lock API. Note that in case of error conditions, preemption and IRQ disabling is automatically unrolled before returning the error back to the caller. Ensure that in absence of CONFIG_QUEUED_SPINLOCKS support, we fallback to the test-and-set implementation. Add some comments describing the subtle memory ordering logic during unlock, and why it's safe.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
