Emilio G. Cota fe9959a275 qsp: QEMU's Synchronization Profiler
The goal of this module is to profile synchronization primitives (i.e.
mutexes, recursive mutexes and condition variables) so that scalability
issues can be quickly diagnosed.

Sync primitives are profiled by QSP based on the vaddr of the object accessed
as well as the call site (file:line_nr). That means the same object called
from two different call sites will be tracked in separate entries, which
might be reported together or separately (see subsequent commit on
call site coalescing).

Some perf numbers:

Host: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz
Command: taskset -c 0 tests/atomic_add-bench -d 5 -m

- Before: 54.80 Mops/s
- After:  54.75 Mops/s

That is, a negligible slowdown due to the now indirect call to
qemu_mutex_lock. Note that using a branch instead of an indirect
call introduces a more severe slowdown (53.65 Mops/s, i.e. 2% slowdown).

Enabling the profiler (with -p, added in this series) is more interesting:

- No profiling: 54.75 Mops/s
- W/ profiling: 12.53 Mops/s

That is, a 4.36X slowdown.

We can break down this slowdown by removing the get_clock calls or
the entry lookup:

- No profiling:     54.75 Mops/s
- W/o get_clock:    25.37 Mops/s
- W/o entry lookup: 19.30 Mops/s
- W/ profiling:     12.53 Mops/s
