/* Recursive FIFO lock
 *
 * This lock provides more features than a plain mutex:
 *
 * 1. Fairness - enforces FIFO order.
 * 2. Nesting - can be taken recursively.
 * 3. Contention callback - optional, called when thread must wait.
 *
 * The recursive FIFO lock is heavyweight so prefer other synchronization
 * primitives if you do not need its features.
