Subject: [PATCH 11/15] stackdepot: use read/write lock

From: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@...gle.com>

Currently, stack depot uses the following locking scheme:

1. Lock-free accesses when looking up a stack record, which allows to
   have multiple users to look up records in parallel;
2. Spinlock for protecting the stack depot pools and the hash table
   when adding a new record.

For implementing the eviction of stack traces from stack depot, the
lock-free approach is not going to work anymore, as we will need to be
able to also remove records from the hash table.

Convert the spinlock into a read/write lock, and drop the atomic accesses,
as they are no longer required.

Looking up stack traces is now protected by the read lock and adding new
records - by the write lock. One of the following patches will add a new
function for evicting stack records, which will be protected by the write
lock as well.

With this change, multiple users can still look up records in parallel.

This is preparatory patch for implementing the eviction of stack records
from the stack depot.
