core: Make secondary spin and locks use cpu_relax()
This makes secondaries spinning waiting for a job and spinlocks use cpu_relax() which speeds up the primary thread and thus speeds up the boot process a bit. Also prettify a bit cpu_relax() implementation Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
