 * RTE MCS lock
 *
 * This file defines the main data structure and APIs for MCS queued lock.
 *
 * The MCS lock (proposed by John M. Mellor-Crummey and Michael L. Scott)
 * provides scalability by spinning on a CPU/thread local variable which
 * avoids expensive cache bouncings. It provides fairness by maintaining
 * a list of acquirers and passing the lock to each CPU/thread in the order
 * they acquired the lock.
