This adds simple deadlock detection.
The detection looks for circular dependencies in the lock requests.
It will abort and display a stack trace when a deadlock occurs.
The detection will reduce performance so only use for debugging.
To use, enable DEBUG_DEADLOCKS in include/config.h (disabled by default).

v2:
	- changed global table to be fields in the respective cpu_thread struct
	- tidied the lock function
