[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 5/6] tcg: introduce tb_lock_recursive()

[Alex Bennée]

In some cases it is useful to have a recursive lock that can be safely
taken when nested in other critical regions. Rather than make all
tb_locks() recursive having a separate function serves to notify the
reader that it explicitly a possibility in this case.
