locking/qspinlock: Avoid redundant read of next pointer
With optimistic prefetch of the next node cacheline, the next pointer
may have been properly inititalized. As a result, the reading
of node->next in the contended path may be redundant. This patch
eliminates the redundant read if the next pointer value is not NULL.
