locking/pvqspinlock: Fix kernel panic in locking-selftest
Enabling locking-selftest in a VM guest may cause the following kernel panic: kernel BUG at .../kernel/locking/qspinlock_paravirt.h:137! This is due to the fact that the pvqspinlock unlock function is expecting either a _Q_LOCKED_VAL or _Q_SLOW_VAL in the lock byte. This patch prevents that bug report by ignoring it when debug_locks_silent is set. Otherwise, a warning will be printed if it contains an unexpected value. With this patch applied, the kernel locking-selftest completed without any noise.
