Subject: [PATCH 4/7] separate the fast parts of __lock and __unlock into a
 .h file that may be used by other TU

This provides two interfaces __lock_fast and __unlock_fast that are both
"static inline" and that should result in a better integration of the
lock in place. The slow path of the lock algorithm remains centralized,
here adding the overhead of a function call is not a big deal.

This must only be used directly by a TU that encapsulates all LOCK and
UNLOCK calls of a particular lock object.
