[PATCH] Self-contained pthread_spinlock_t for RTEMS


Turn pthread_spinlock_t into a self-contained object.  On uni-processor
configurations, interrupts are disabled in the lock/trylock operations
and the previous interrupt status is restored in the corresponding
unlock operations.  On SMP configurations, a ticket lock is a acquired
and released in addition.

This implementation is simple and efficient.  However, this test case of
the Linux Test Project would fail due to call of printf() and sleep()
during spin lock ownership:
