The tests currently have a single writer thread updating the system
DSCR with a 1/1000 chance looped only 100 times. So only around one in
10 runs actually do anything.
* Add multiple threads to the dscr_explicit_random_test case.
* Use a barrier to make all the threads start work as simultaneously as
possible.
* Use a rwlock and make all threads have a reasonable chance to write to
the DSCR on each iteration.
PTHREAD_RWLOCK_PREFER_WRITER_NONRECURSIVE_NP is used to prevent
writers from starving while all the other threads keep reading.
Logging the reads/writes shows a decent mix across the whole test.
* Allow all threads a chance to write.
* Make the chance of writing more likely.

Add new cases to the relevant tests that use explicitly synchronized
threads to test the behaviour across context switches with less
randomness. By locking the participants to the same CPU we guarantee a
context switch occurs each time they make progress, which is a likely
failure point if the kernel is not tracking the thread local DSCR
correctly.
The random case is left in to keep exercising potential edge cases.

This patch adds a test which modifies the DSCR using mtspr instruction
and verifies the change using mfspr instruction. It uses both the
privilege state SPR as well as the problem state SPR for the purpose.
