tcg: remove tb_lock
Use mmap_lock in user-mode to protect TCG state and the page descriptors. In !user-mode, each vCPU has its own TCG state, so no locks needed. Per-page locks are used to protect the page descriptors. Per-TB locks are used in both modes to protect TB jumps. Some notes: - tb_lock is removed from notdirty_mem_write by passing a locked page_collection to tb_invalidate_phys_page_fast. - tcg_tb_lookup/remove/insert/etc have their own internal lock(s), so there is no need to further serialize access to them. - do_tb_flush is run in a safe async context, meaning no other vCPU threads are running. Therefore acquiring mmap_lock there is just to please tools such as thread sanitizer. - Not visible in the diff, but tb_invalidate_phys_page already has an assert_memory_lock. - cpu_io_recompile is !user-only, so no mmap_lock there. - Added mmap_unlock()'s before all siglongjmp's that could be called in user-mode while mmap_lock is held. + Added an assert for !have_mmap_lock() after returning from the longjmp in cpu_exec, just like we do in cpu_exec_step_atomic.

Beyond that point, however, unrelated lock contention significantly hurts scalability.
