John Baldwin 3f08bd8bce Add a basic reader/writer lock implementation to the kernel. This
implementation is by no means perfect as far as some of the algorithms
that it uses and the fact that it is missing some functionality (try
locks and upgrades/downgrades are not there yet), however it does seem
to work in my local testing.  There is more detail in the comments in the
code, but the short version follows.

A reader/writer lock is very much like a regular mutex: it cannot be held
across a voluntary sleep; it can be acquired in an interrupt thread; if
the lock is held by a writer then the priority of any threads that block
on the lock will be lent to the owner; the simple case lock operations all
are done in a single atomic op.  It also shares some similiarities
with sx locks: it supports reader/writer semantics (multiple readers,
but single writers); readers are allowed to recurse, but writers are not.

We can extend this implementation further by either improving algorithms
or adding new functionality, but this should at least give us a base to
work with now.

Tested on:	i386 (4 cpu box with a kernel module that used 4 threads
		that randomly chose between read locks and write locks
		that ran w/o panicing for over a day solid.  It usually
		panic'd within a few seconds when there were bugs during
		testing. :)  The kernel module source is available on
		request.)
