Bob Moore 8a335a2331 ACPICA: Fix AcpiWalkNamespace race condition with table unload
Added a reader/writer locking mechanism to allow multiple
concurrent namespace walks (readers), but a dynamic table unload
will have exclusive access to the namespace. This fixes a problem
where a table unload could delete the portion of the namespace that
is currently being examined by a walk.  Adds a new file, utlock.c
that implements the reader/writer lock mechanism. ACPICA BZ 749.
