[v4,3/3] Mutex: Replace trylock by read only while spinning

  The pthread adaptive spin mutex spins on the lock for a while before
calling into the kernel to block. But, in the current implementation of
spinning, the spinners go straight back to LLL_MUTEX_TRYLOCK(cmpxchg) when
the lock is contended, it is not a good idea on many targets as that will
force expensive memory synchronization among processors and penalize other
running threads. For example, it constantly floods the system with "read
for ownership" requests, which are much more expensive to process than a
single read. Thus, we only use MO read until we observe the lock to not be
acquired anymore, as suggeusted by Andi Kleen.

Performance impact:
Significant mutex performance improvement is not expected for this patch,
though, it probably bring some benefit for the scenarios with severe lock
contention on many architectures, the whole system performance can benefit
from this modification because a number of unnecessary "read for ownership"
requests which stress the cache system by broadcasting cache line
invalidity are eliminated during spinning.
Meanwhile, it may have some tiny performance regression on the lock holder
transformation for the case of lock acquisition via spinning gets, because
the lock state is checked before acquiring the lock via trylock.

Similar mechanism has been implemented for pthread spin lock.

Test machine:
2-sockets Skylake platform, 112 cores with 62G RAM

Test case: mutex-adaptive-thread (Contended pthread adaptive spin mutex
with global update)
Usage: make bench BENCHSET=mutex-adaptive-thread

    * nptl/pthread_mutex_lock.c: Optimize adaptive spin mutex
    * nptl/pthread_mutex_conf.h: Add READ_ONLY_SPIN micro definition
    * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86/pthread_mutex_lock.c: Enable read only
      while spinning for x86 architecture
    * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86/pthread_mutex_cond_lock.c: Likewise

ChangLog:
    V3->V4:
    a) Make the optimization opt-in, and enable for x86 architecture as
    default, as suggested by Florian Weimer.

    V2->V3:
    a) Drop the idea of blocking spinners if fail to acquire a lock, since
       this idea would not be an universal winner. E.g. several threads
       contend for a lock which protects a small critical section, thus,
       probably any thread can acquire the lock via spinning.
    b) Fix the format issue AFAIC

    V1->V2: fix format issue
