These functions are intended to be used to drop a lock and then reacquire
it when doing an sleep such as msleep(9). Both functions accept a
'struct lock_object *' as their first parameter. The 'lc_unlock' function
returns an integer that is then passed as the second paramter to the
subsequent 'lc_lock' function. This can be used to communicate state.
For example, sx locks and rwlocks use this to indicate if the lock was
share/read locked vs exclusive/write locked.
Currently, spin mutexes and lockmgr locks do not provide working lc_lock
and lc_unlock functions.
