[perf] Reduce contention in ptrace.threadPool.lookupOrCreate().
lookupOrCreate is called from subprocess.switchToApp() and subprocess.syscall().
lookupOrCreate() looks for a thread already created for the current TID. If a
thread exists (common case), it returns immediately. Otherwise it creates a new
one.
This change switches to using a sync.RWMutex. The initial thread existence
lookup is now done only with the read lock. So multiple successful lookups can
occur concurrently. Only when a new thread is created will it acquire the lock
for writing and update the map (which is not the common case).
Discovered in mutex profiles from the various ptrace benchmarks.
