If there isn't contention, it must also clear the tail as part of this operation so that subsequent lockers can avoid taking the slowpath altogether. Currently this is expressed as a cmpxchg loop that practically only runs up to two iterations. This is confusing to the reader and unhelpful to the compiler. Rewrite the cmpxchg loop without the loop, so that a failed cmpxchg implies that there is contention and we just need to write to _Q_LOCKED_VAL without considering the rest of the lockword.
