[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH v6 12/20] replay: make locking visible outside replay code

[Pavel Dovgalyuk]

From: Alex Bennée <alex.ben...@linaro.org>

The replay_mutex_lock/unlock/locked functions are now going to be used
for ensuring lock-step behaviour between the two threads. Make them
public API functions and also provide stubs for non-QEMU builds on
common paths.
