* Removed unused inner struct State.
* Added work-around for the extremely annoying "fState my be used
uninitialized" warning gcc 4 produces. I'm not aware of any solution that
doesn't generate unnecessary code. :-/

* Trivial adjustments of code using mutexes. Mostly removing the
mutex_init() return value check.
* Added mutex_lock_threads_locked(), which is called with the threads
spinlock being held. The spinlock is released while waiting, of
course. This function is useful in cases where the existence of the
mutex object is ensured by holding the threads spinlock.
* Changed the two instances in the VFS code where an IO context of
another team needs to be locked to use mutex_lock_threads_locked().
Before it required a semaphore-based mutex implementation.

name, couldn't resist :-P). It's semantically equivalent to a mutex,
but doesn't need a semaphore (it uses thread blocking and a simple
queue instead). Initialization can't fail. In fact it is ready to use
without initialization when living in the bss segment, also in the
early boot process. It's as fast as a benaphore in cases of low lock
contention, and faster otherwise. Only disadvantage is the higher
immediate memory footprint of 16 bytes.
* Changed how the "thread" and "threads" debugger commands list the
objects they are waiting for. Cutexes are also included.

* Added class InterruptsSpinLocker, which disables interrupts and
acquires a spinlock all in one.

interrupts) and SpinLocker (acquires/releases spinlocks).
* Adjusted Jamfiles of components that used <util/AutoLock.h> but didn't
add all header directories required now (<int.h> was added).

into its own shared/AutoLocker.h. It can be used by userland code too.
* Removed headers/private/shared/ObjectLocker.h and replaced all uses of
BObjectLocker by AutoLocker.

possibility to initialize the AutoLocker without locking the object even
if it is unlocked yet. Especially in loops Lock()/Unlock() come handy
when an otherwise constantly hold lock needs to be unlocked for a short
time.
I suppose we should move the kernel utils AutoLocker implementation
to headers/private/shared, and drop the less powerful ObjectLocker.

* recursive_lock_unlock() now returns a void to mirror it's counterpart better;
use recursive_lock_get_recursion() if you're interested in the lock depth.
* switch_sem(), and release_sem() now don't do anything anymore in kernel startup
mode.

<disk_device_manager/KDiskDeviceUtils.h> into <util/AutoLock.h>.
Added instantiations for recursive locks (moved from vfs.cpp) and
mutexes.
