  Add two commands to _umtx_op system call to allow a simple mutex to be
  locked and unlocked completely in userland. by locking and unlocking mutex
  in userland, it reduces the total time a mutex is locked by a thread,
  in some application code, a mutex only protects a small piece of code, the
  code's execution time is less than a simple system call, if a lock contention
  happens, however in current implemenation, the lock holder has to extend its
  locking time and enter kernel to unlock it, the change avoids this disadvantage,
  it first sets mutex to free state and then enters kernel and wake one waiter
  up. This improves performance dramatically in some sysbench mutex tests.
