Since configure guarantees us that we have pthreads on all hosts
except mingw (which doesn't support a USER_ONLY config), we can
and should use the pthread_mutex based implementation of spin_lock()
and spin_unlock() in all USER_ONLY cases. This means that all the
inline-native-assembly code supporting the "USER_ONLY but not USE_NPTL"
case can go away.

The not-USER_ONLY case remains as empty implementations; there is
no change in behaviour here.

Signed-off-by: Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>
---
This patch, as well as being a huge cleanup as per the existing comment
in qemu-lock.h, fixes some ARM compile failures for the cases where
"swp" doesn't exist (v7/Thumb).

NB that the major user of spinlocks (the TCG TB code via tb_lock and
interrupt_lock) is broken anyway, see 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/668799
and the only other user (target-i386 lock prefix emulation) has
a comment saying "broken thread support"...
