rqspinlock: Fix TAS fallback lock entry creation
The TAS fallback can be invoked directly when queued spin locks are
disabled, and through the slow path when paravirt is enabled for queued
spin locks. In the latter case, the res_spin_lock macro will attempt the
fast path and already hold the entry when entering the slow path. This
will lead to creation of extraneous entries that are not released, which
may cause false positives for deadlock detection.
Fix this by always preceding invocation of the TAS fallback in every
case with the grabbing of the held lock entry, and add a comment to make
note of this.
