So that we can skip the functions in the perf lock contention and other
places like /proc/PID/wchan.

For completeness, I think you should also add it to the __pv_queued_spin_unlock() and __pv_queued_spin_unlock_slowpath() function in kernel/locking/qspinlock_paravirt.h. Perhaps even the assembly code in arch/x86/include/asm/qspinlock_paravirt.h.
