sharing with other processes.

Jeff Boody 0977510e0f base: genlock: remove BIT macro usage
The BIT macro is not defined for !_KERNEL_ resulting in compile errors.

Jeff Boody 6d9076fe46 base: genlock: allow synchronization with a single gralloc handle
In order to support synchronization in a process with a single
gralloc handle we require the ability to write lock a buffer
while it is already read locked by the same handle. This change
extends the concept of an exclusive write lock or recursive read
locks to a genlock handle (rather than the genlock lock).
Genlock cannot provide deadlock protection because the same
handle can be used simultaneously by a producer and consumer.
In practice an error will still be generated when the timeout
expires.

Jordan Crouse 4df70a254d base: genlock: Remove genlock_release_lock and associated ioctl
Allowing a lock to be asynchronously released while a handle
was still active turned out to be too dangerous to use in a
multi-threaded environment and it served no pratical
purpose anyway.  Handles now hold an attached lock until they
are destroyed.

Jordan Crouse 29f66af8a0 drivers: base: Add generic cross-process locking API
Add a generic locking API for situations where multiple user-space
processes and/or kernel drivers need to cooordinate access to a
shared resource such as a graphics buffer.
