  This structure is an implementation detail of osq_lock.c, and there are
no external users.

Also drop the redundant overview comment from osq_lock.c.

It is probably better to drop the MCS like lock comment here as it is 
not relevant without the optimistic_spin_node struct.

We should keep the MCS comment here. My other suggestion is to put the 
structure definition after the comment.

Other than these minor nits, it is a worthwhile cleanup patch.
