Mateusz Guzik 1ada904147 Implement trivial backoff for locking primitives.
All current spinning loops retry an atomic op the first chance they get,
which leads to performance degradation under load.

One classic solution to the problem consists of delaying the test to an
extent. This implementation has a trivial linear increment and a random
factor for each attempt.

For simplicity, this first thouch implementation only modifies spinning
loops where the lock owner is running. spin mutexes and thread lock were
not modified.

Current parameters are autotuned on boot based on mp_cpus.

Autotune factors are very conservative and are subject to change later.
