tools/memory-model: Improve mixed-access checking in lock.cat

The code in lock.cat which checks for normal read/write accesses to
spinlock variables doesn't take into account the newly added RL and RU
events.  Add them into the test, and move the resulting code up near
the start of the file, since a violation would indicate a pretty
severe conceptual error in a litmus test.
