Enable qspinlock by the requirements mentioned in a8ad07e524
("asm-generic: qspinlock: Indicate the use of mixed-size atomics").
C-SKY only has "ldex/stex" for all atomic operations. So csky give a
strong forward guarantee for "ldex/stex." That means when ldex grabbed
the cache line into $L1, it would block other cores from snooping the
address with several cycles. The atomic_fetch_add & xchg16 has the same
forward guarantee level in C-SKY.
Qspinlock has better code size and performance in a fast path.

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 Restructured Text 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.
