[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v7 12/22] replay: make locking visible outside replay code

[Pavel Dovgalyuk]

From: Alex Bennée <address@hidden>

The replay_mutex_lock/unlock/locked functions are now going to be used
for ensuring lock-step behaviour between the two threads. Make them
public API functions and also provide stubs for non-QEMU builds on
common paths.

v7: - removed abort() from stubs to allow calling from utils
    - removed exported replay_mutex_locked()
