kern: provide a way to steal a lock
During the message transport, the sender acquires a lock that is released by the sender. By making this explicit, we can provide stronger guarantees about the locking. * ipc/ipc_mqueue.c (ipc_mqueue_receive): Steal lock. * ipc/ipc_object.h (io_lock_steal): New macro. * ipc/ipc_port.h (ip_lock_steal): Likewise. * ipc/mach_msg.c (mach_msg_trap): Steal lock in the inlined version of `ipc_mqueue_receive'. * kern/lock.c (lock_done): Assert that the current thread holds the lock. * kern/lock.h (lock_write_steal): New macro.
