Hyper-V: hn: Relinquish cpu in HN_LOCK to avoid deadlock
The try lock loop in HN_LOCK put the thread spinning on cpu if the lock
is not available. It is possible to cause deadlock if the thread holding
the lock is sleeping. Relinquish the cpu to work around this problem even
it doesn't completely solve the issue. The priority inversion could cause
the livelock no matter how less likely it could happen. A more complete
solution may be needed in the future.
