When the lock holder vCPU is racing with the queue head:

   CPU 0 (lock holder)    CPU1 (queue head)
   ===================    =================
   spin_lock();           spin_lock();
    pv_kick_node():        pv_wait_head_or_lock():
                            if (!lp) {
                             lp = pv_hash(lock, pn);
                             xchg(&l->locked, _Q_SLOW_VAL);
                            }
                            WRITE_ONCE(pn->state, vcpu_halted);
     cmpxchg(&pn->state,
      vcpu_halted, vcpu_hashed);
     WRITE_ONCE(l->locked, _Q_SLOW_VAL);
     (void)pv_hash(lock, pn);

In this case, lock holder inserts the pv_node of queue head into the
hash table and set _Q_SLOW_VAL unnecessary. This patch avoids it by
restoring/setting vcpu_hashed state after failing adaptive locking
spinning.
