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.
