nptl: Add backoff mechanism to spinlock loop When mutiple threads waiting for lock at the same time, once lock owner releases the lock, waiters will see lock available and all try to lock, which may cause an expensive CAS storm. Binary exponential backoff with random jitter is introduced. As try-lock attempt increases, there is more likely that a larger number threads compete for adaptive mutex lock, so increase wait time in exponential. A random jitter is also added to avoid synchronous try-lock from other threads. v2: Remove read-check before try-lock for performance. v3: 1. Restore read-check since it works well in some platform. 2. Make backoff arch dependent, and enable it for x86_64. 3. Limit max backoff to reduce latency in large critical section. v4: Fix strict-prototypes error in sysdeps/nptl/pthread_mutex_backoff.h v5: Commit log updated for regression in large critical section.
