  This is a followup of the series that introduced lock annotations.
I reworked and made annotations work in what seemed the easier cases.
In most cases, I chose to convert inline wrappers around the EAL lock
API to simple macro: I did not see much value in those wrappers and this
is way simpler than adding __rte_*lock_function tags everywhere.

A list of libraries and drivers still need more work as their code have
non obvious locks handling. For those components, the check is opted
out.
I leave it to their respective maintainers to enable the checks later.

FreeBSD libc pthread API has lock annotations while Linux glibc has
none.
We could simply disable the check on FreeBSD, but having this check,
a few issues got raised in drivers that are built with FreeBSD.
For now, I went with a simple #ifdef FreeBSD for pthread mutex related
annotations in our code.

Maintainers, please review.
