mcslock: add MCS queued lock implementation
If there are multiple threads contending, they all attempt to take the spinlock lock at the same time once it is released. This results in a huge amount of processor bus traffic, which is a huge performance killer. Thus, if we somehow order the lock-takers so that they know who is next in line for the resource we can vastly reduce the amount of bus traffic. This patch added MCS lock library. It provides scalability by spinning on a CPU/thread local variable which avoids expensive cache bouncings. It provides fairness by maintaining a list of acquirers and passing the lock to each CPU/thread in the order they acquired the lock.
