The pvstat_trylock_unfair() is within the CONFIG_QUEUED_LOCK_STAT block. 
It will only be activated when the config parameter is set. Otherwise, 
pv_queued_spin_trylock_unfair() will be used without any counting.

It is used provide count of how many unfair trylock has successfully got 
the lock.

Cheers,
Longman
