Fix problem regarding priority inversion when using the concurrency
kit, CK, in the LinuxKPI. When threads are pinned to a CPU core or when there is only one CPU, it can happen that a higher priority thread can call the CK synchronize function while a lower priority thread holds the read lock. Because the CK's synchronize is a simple wait loop this can lead to a deadlock situation. To solve this problem use the recently introduced CK's wait callback function. When detecting a CK blocking condition figure out the lowest priority among the blockers and update the calling thread's priority and yield. If another CPU core is holding the read lock, pin the thread to the blocked CPU core and update the priority. The calling threads priority and CPU bindings are restored before return. If a thread holding a CK read lock is detected to be sleeping, pause() will be used instead of yield(). MFC after: 1 week Sponsored by: Mellanox Technologies
