[v3,0/3] MCS queued lock implementation

This patch set added MCS lock library and its unit test.

The MCS lock (proposed by John M. Mellor-Crummey and Michael L. Scott) provides
scalability by spinning on a CPU/thread local variable which avoids expensive
cache bouncings. It provides fairness by maintaining a list of acquirers and
passing the lock to each CPU/thread in the order they acquired the lock.

Summary:
1. In the lock contention scenario, MCS lock and ticket lock can grantee
the fairness for each lock acquirers. MCS lock has better performance
than ticket lock.
2. Spinlock is fast, however spinlock has the unfairness issue in the
lock contention case. This will make some lock acquirers got starved.
MCS lock is fast and fair comparing with spinlock.

v3
Fix __rte_experimental coding style warning.

v2
1. Lowercase the algrithom author's name; (David Marchand)
2. Add the load test on master core to align with other locks test; (David Marchand)
3. Enlarge the test iterations from 10K to 1M; (Ananyev Konstantin)
4. Fixed potential deadlock issues.

v1
Initial version.
