Huacai Chen 5f1e001be5 LoongArch: Add qspinlock support
On NUMA system, the performance of qspinlock is better than generic
spinlock. Below is the UnixBench test results on a 8 nodes (4 cores
per node, 32 cores in total) machine.

A. With generic spinlock:

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.
