locking/pvqspinlock: Correct the type of "old" variable in pv_kick_node()

Browse Source 
"enum vcpu_state" is not compatible with "u8" type for all targets,
resulting in:

error: initialization of 'u8 *' {aka 'unsigned char *'} from incompatible pointer type 'enum vcpu_state *'

for LoongArch. Correct the type of "old" variable to "u8".
