x86: Use asm-goto to implement mutex fast path on x86-64 The new implementation allows the compiler to better optimize the code; the original implementation is still used when the kernel is compiled with older versions of gcc that don't support asm-goto. Compiling with gcc 4.7.3, the original mutex_lock() is 60 bytes with the fast path taking 16 instructions; the new mutex_lock() is 42 bytes, with the fast path taking 12 instructions. The original mutex_unlock() is 24 bytes with the fast path taking 7 instructions; the new mutex_unlock() is 25 bytes (because the compiler used a 2-byte ret) with the fast path taking 4 instructions. The two versions of the functions are included below for reference.
