[rfc] [patch] LMB: Add basic spin locking to lmb

Add a spinlock to struct lmb to enforce concurrency in
lmb_add(), lmb_remove(), lmb_analyze(), and lmb_dump_all().

This locking is needed for SMP systems that access the lmb structure
during hot memory add and remove operations after secondary cpus
have been started.

This patch just adds locks for the few lmb routines that would
be used for hot memory adding and removing.
