arch_spin_unlock_wait() looks very suboptimal, to the point I think this is just wrong and can lead to livelock: if the lock is heavily contended we can never see head == tail. But we do not need to wait for arch_spin_is_locked() == F. If it is locked we only need to wait until the current owner drops this lock. So we could simply spin until old_head != lock->tickets.head in this case, but .head can overflow and thus we can't check "unlocked" only once before the main loop. Also, the "unlocked" check can ignore TICKET_SLOWPATH_FLAG bit.
