mutex: fix trylock spin wait contention

Browse Source 
If there are 3 or more threads spin-waiting on the same mutex,
there will be excessive exclusive cacheline contention because
pthread_trylock() immediately tries to CAS in a new value, instead
of first checking if the lock is locked.

This diff adds a 'locked' hint flag, and we will only spin wait
without trylock()ing while set.  I don't know of any other portable
way to get the same behavior as pthread_mutex_lock().

This is pretty easy to test via ttest, e.g.

./ttest1 500 3 10000 1 100

Throughput is nearly 3x as fast.

This blames to the mutex profiling changes, however, we almost never
have 3 or more threads contending in properly configured production
workloads, but still worth fixing.
