1.0.24.26: fix release spinlock
Both in the runtime and in Lisp releasing a spinlock was a simple
assignment. That doesn't work because the new value may not make it to
main memory by the time another CPU wants to acquire it making it
needlessly slow. Worse, it also allows the CPU to reorder instructions
from the critical section after the release.
There is a spinlock implementation for MIPS in the runtime, but it's
not used as we don't have threads on that platform. I don't know if
it's broken too.
