Are there any common applications that use this?
It's worth mentioning that this change, although correct, does not make
a measurable performance difference for the tests I was running when I
found the bug. It is possible that making the spinlocks adaptive would
help, but I didn't look into this.
(I was working on malloc performance enhancements that have turned out
very nicely, but in the end I had to switch to hand-rolled "spin"
mutexes that eventually convert to blocking, in order to avoid the
possibility of unrecoverable priority inversion.)
