Sebastian Huber c42be504c9 posix: Add self-contained pthread spinlock ...

Turn pthread_spinlock_t into a self-contained object.  On uni-processor
configurations, interrupts are disabled in the lock/trylock operations
and the previous interrupt status is restored in the corresponding
unlock operations.  On SMP configurations, a ticket lock is a acquired
and released in addition.

The self-contained pthread_spinlock_t object is defined by Newlib in
<sys/_pthreadtypes.h>.

typedef struct {
  struct _Ticket_lock_Control _lock;
  __uint32_t                  _interrupt_state;
} pthread_spinlock_t;

This implementation is simple and efficient.  However, this test case of
the Linux Test Project would fail due to call of printf() and sleep()
during spin lock ownership:

There is only limited support for profiling on SMP configurations.

Delete CORE spinlock implementation.

Update #2674.
