Soby Mathew 548579f56e Remove the `owner` field in bakery_lock_t data structure
This patch removes the `owner` field in bakery_lock_t structure which
is the data structure used in the bakery lock implementation that uses
coherent memory. The assertions to protect against recursive lock
acquisition were based on the 'owner' field. They are now done based
on the bakery lock ticket number. These assertions are also added
to the bakery lock implementation that uses normal memory as well.

Soby Mathew 1c9573a157 Optimize the bakery lock structure for coherent memory
This patch optimizes the data structure used with the bakery lock
implementation for coherent memory to save memory and minimize memory
accesses. These optimizations were already part of the bakery lock
implementation for normal memory and this patch now implements
it for the coherent memory implementation as well. Also
included in the patch is a cleanup to use the do-while loop while
waiting for other contenders to finish choosing their tickets.

Soby Mathew 8c5fe0b5b9 Move bakery algorithm implementation out of coherent memory
This patch moves the bakery locks out of coherent memory to normal memory.
This implies that the lock information needs to be placed on a separate cache
line for each cpu. Hence the bakery_lock_info_t structure is allocated in the
per-cpu data so as to minimize memory wastage. A similar platform per-cpu
data is introduced for the platform locks.

As a result of the above changes, the bakery lock api is completely changed.
Earlier, a reference to the lock structure was passed to the lock implementation.
Now a unique-id (essentially an index into the per-cpu data array) and an offset
into the per-cpu data for bakery_info_t needs to be passed to the lock
implementation.
