lglock: introduce special lglock and brlock spin locks
This patch introduces "local-global" locks (lglocks). These can be used to:
- Provide fast exclusive access to per-CPU data, with exclusive access to
another CPU's data allowed but possibly subject to contention, and to provide
very slow exclusive access to all per-CPU data.
- Or to provide very fast and scalable read serialisation, and to provide
very slow exclusive serialisation of data (not necessarily per-CPU data).
Brlocks are also implemented as a short-hand notation for the latter use
case.
Thanks to Paul for local/global naming convention.
