The main purpose of cacheline concurrency global lock
is to eliminate the possibility of deadlocks when
locking multiple cachelines.
Cacheline lock fast path does not need to acquire
this lock, as it is only opportunistically attempting
to lock all clines without wait. There is no risk
of deadlock, as:
* concurrent fast path will also only try_lock
cachelines, releasing all acquired locks if failed
to immediately acquire lock for any cacheline
* concurrent slow path is guaranteed to have
precedence in lock acquisition when conditions
for deadlock occure (both slowpath and fastpath
have acquired some locks required by the other
thread). This is because the fastpath thread will
back off (release acquired locks) if any one of the
cacheline locks is not acquired.

This change introduced a race condition. In some code paths after
cacheline trylock failed, hash bucket lock needed bo be upgraded
in order to obtain asynchronous lock. During hash bucket lock
upgrade, hash read locks were released followed by obtaining
hash write locks. After read locks were released, concurrent
thread could obtain hash bucket locks and modify cacheline
state. The thread upgrading hash bucket lock would need to
repeat traversation in order to safely continue.
This reverts commit 30f22d4f47.

Hash bucket read/write lock is sufficient to safely attempt
cacheline trylock/lock. This change removes cacheline lock
global RW semaprhore and moves cacheline trylock/lock under
hash bucket read/write lock respectively.

This change refactors the code in order to prepare for removing
global concurrency lock, which won't be needed after per-bucket
metadata locking is in place.

Environment should provide calls for destroying primitives (i.e. env_mutex_destroy()) and OCF should call these functions in its cleanup paths.
