Split the timed mutex lock from the non-timed lock functions

Non-timed mutex locks are by far more common, so let's try not to
penalise the locking of those with code that won't get used that
often.

+ * QBasicMutex implementation on Linux with futexes
+ *
+ * QBasicMutex contains one pointer value, which can contain one of four
+ * different values:
+ *    0x0       unlocked, non-recursive mutex
+ *    0x1       locked non-recursive mutex, no waiters
+ *    0x3       locked non-recursive mutex, at least one waiter
+ *   > 0x3      recursive mutex, points to a QMutexPrivate object
+ *
+ * LOCKING (non-recursive):
+ *
+ * A non-recursive mutex starts in the 0x0 state, indicating that it's
+ * unlocked. When the first thread attempts to lock it, it will perform a
+ * testAndSetAcquire from 0x0 to 0x1. If that succeeds, the caller concludes
+ * that it successfully locked the mutex. That happens in fastTryLock().
+ *
+ * If that testAndSetAcquire fails, QBasicMutex::lockInternal is called.
+ *
+ * lockInternal will examine the value of the pointer. Otherwise, it will use
+ * futexes to sleep and wait for another thread to unlock. To do that, it needs
+ * to set a pointer value of 0x3, which indicates that thread is waiting. It
+ * does that by a simple fetchAndStoreAcquire operation.
+ *
+ * If the pointer value was 0x0, it means we succeeded in acquiring the mutex.
+ * For other values, it will then call FUTEX_WAIT and with an expected value of
+ * 0x3.
+ *
+ * If the pointer value changed before futex(2) managed to sleep, it will
+ * return -1 / EWOULDBLOCK, in which case we have to start over. And even if we
+ * are woken up directly by a FUTEX_WAKE, we need to acquire the mutex, so we
+ * start over again.
+ *
+ * UNLOCKING (non-recursive):
+ *
+ * To unlock, we need to set a value of 0x0 to indicate it's unlocked. The
+ * first attempt is a testAndSetRelease operation from 0x1 to 0x0. If that
+ * succeeds, we're done.
+ *
+ * If it fails, unlockInternal() is called. The only possibility is that the
+ * mutex value was 0x3, which indicates some other thread is waiting or was
+ * waiting in the past. We then set the mutex to 0x0 and perform a FUTEX_WAKE.
