    kernel - Spiff up locks a bit
    
    * Do a little optimization of _spin_lock_contested().  The critical path
      is able to avoid two atomic ops in the initialization portion of the
      contested path.
    
    * Optimize _spin_lock_shared_contested() to use atomic_fetchadd_long()
      to add a shared-lock count instead of atomic_cmpset_long().  Shared
      spinlocks are used heavily and this will prevent a lot of unnecessary
      spinning when many cpus are using the same lock at the same time.
    
    * Hold fdp->fd_spin across fdp->fd_cdir and fdp->fd_ncdir modifications.
      This completes other work which caches fdp->fd_ncdir and avoids having
      to obtain the spin-lock when the cache matches.
