e91ff25c0c Fix the problem with the C++ exception handling for the multithreaded
programs.

From the PR description:
The gcc runtime's _Unwind_Find_FDE function, invoked during exception
handling's stack unwinding, is not safe to execute from within multiple
threads. FreeBSD' s dl_iterate_phdr() however permits multiple threads
to pass through it though. The result is surprisingly reliable infinite
looping of one or more threads if they just happen to be unwinding at
the same time.

Introduce the new lock that is write locked around the dl_iterate_pdr,
thus providing required exclusion for the stack unwinders.

6d5d786f80 Allow threading libraries to register their own locking
implementation in case default one provided by rtld is
not suitable.

Consolidate various identical MD lock implementation into
a single file using appropriate machine/atomic.h.
