locking: Move mcs_spinlock.h into kernel/locking/
The mcs_spinlock code is not meant (or suitable) as a generic locking primitive, therefore take it away from the normal includes and place it in kernel/locking/. This way the locking primitives implemented there can use it as part of their implementation but we do not risk it getting used inapropriately.

2 * MCS lock defines
3 *
4 * This file contains the main data structure and API definitions of MCS lock.
5 *
6 * The MCS lock (proposed by Mellor-Crummey and Scott) is a simple spin-lock
7 * with the desirable properties of being fair, and with each cpu trying
8 * to acquire the lock spinning on a local variable.
9 * It avoids expensive cache bouncings that common test-and-set spin-lock
10 * implementations incur.
