Lock contention in the hot path of moving between existing patched
TranslationBlocks is the main drag in multithreaded performance. This
patch pushes the tb_lock() usage down to the two places that really need
it:

  - code generation (tb_gen_code)
  - jump patching (tb_add_jump)

The rest of the code doesn't really need to hold a lock as it is either
using per-CPU structures, atomically updated or designed to be used in
concurrent read situations (qht_lookup).

To keep things simple I removed the #ifdef CONFIG_USER_ONLY stuff as the
locks become NOPs anyway until the MTTCG work is completed.
