That's not true; we treat spinlock as qspinlock at first.
qspinlock_unlock would make the lock value zero (clean), but
ticket_lock would make a dirty one. (I've spent much time on this
mechanism, and you've preserved it in this patch.) So, making the
qspinlock -> ticket_lock change point safe until sched_init() is late
enough to make alternatives. The key problem of alternative
implementation is tough coding because you can't reuse the C code. The
whole ticket_lock must be rewritten in asm and include the qspinlock
fast path.
I think we should discuss some points before continuing the patch:
1. Using alternative mechanisms for combo spinlock
2. Using three Kconfigs for
ticket_spinlock/queune_spinlock/combo_spinlock during compile stage.
3. The forward progress guarantee requirement is written in
qspinlock.h comment. That is not about our CAS/BHA.

COMBO SPINLOCK has side effects, which would expand spinlock code size
a lot. Ref: ARCH_INLINE_SPIN_LOCK
So, we shouldn't remove the three configs' selection.

The requirement of qspinlock concerns the forward progress guarantee
in micro-arch design, which includes cmpxchg_loop & xchg_tail. So, I
don't think these features have a relationship with Qspinlock.
If your machine doesn't have enough stickiness for a young exclusive
cacheline, fall back to ticket_lock.
