coroutine: switch per-thread free pool to a global pool
ucontext-based coroutines use a free pool to reduce allocations and deallocations of coroutine objects. The pool is per-thread, presumably to improve locality. However, as coroutines are usually allocated in a vcpu thread and freed in the I/O thread, the pool accounting gets screwed up and we end allocating and freeing a coroutine for every I/O request. This is expensive since large objects are allocated via the kernel, and are not cached by the C runtime. Fix by switching to a global pool. This is safe since we're protected by the global mutex.
