Add LLL_MUTEX_READ_LOCK [BZ #28537]
CAS instruction is expensive. From the x86 CPU's point of view, getting a cache line for writing is more expensive than reading. See Appendix A.2 Spinlock in: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/white-papers/xeon-lock-scaling-analysis-paper.pdf The full compare and swap will grab the cache line exclusive and cause excessive cache line bouncing. Add LLL_MUTEX_READ_LOCK to do an atomic load and skip CAS in spinlock loop if compare may fail to reduce cache line bouncing on contended locks.
