The new implementation allows the compiler to better optimize the code; the
original implementation is still used when the kernel is compiled with older
versions of gcc that don't support asm-goto.

Compiling with gcc 4.7.3, the original mutex_lock() is 60 bytes with the fast
path taking 16 instructions; the new mutex_lock() is 42 bytes, with the fast
path taking 12 instructions.

The original mutex_unlock() is 24 bytes with the fast path taking 7
instructions; the new mutex_unlock() is 25 bytes (because the compiler used
a 2-byte ret) with the fast path taking 4 instructions.

The two versions of the functions are included below for reference.
