Emilio G. Cota 194125e3eb translate-all: protect TB jumps with a per-destination-TB lock
This applies to both user-mode and !user-mode emulation.

Instead of relying on a global lock, protect the list of incoming
jumps with tb->jmp_lock. This lock also protects tb->cflags,
so update all tb->cflags readers outside tb->jmp_lock to use
atomic reads via tb_cflags().

In order to find the destination TB (and therefore its jmp_lock)
from the origin TB, we introduce tb->jmp_dest[].

I considered not using a linked list of jumps, which simplifies
code and makes the struct smaller. However, it unnecessarily increases
memory usage, which results in a performance decrease. See for
instance these numbers booting+shutting down debian-arm:
                      Time (s)  Rel. err (%)  Abs. err (s)  Rel. slowdown (%)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 before                  20.88          0.74      0.154512                 0.
 after                   20.81          0.38      0.079078        -0.33524904
 GTree                   21.02          0.28      0.058856         0.67049808
 GHashTable + xxhash     21.63          1.08      0.233604          3.5919540

Using a hash table or a binary tree to keep track of the jumps
doesn't really pay off, not only due to the increased memory usage,
but also because most TBs have only 0 or 1 jumps to them. The maximum
number of jumps when booting debian-arm that I measured is 35, but
as we can see in the histogram below a TB with that many incoming jumps
is extremely rare; the average TB has 0.80 incoming jumps.

n_jumps: 379208; avg jumps/tb: 0.801099
