    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.
