While chasing a bug in g_lock (not in master) I saw some opportunity to
simplify g_lock_trylock a bit. This is array handling, and array
handling is just extremely error-prone. This *might* be a little less
efficient or large numbers of READ locks, but this remains to be
seen. For now, simplify the code.
First, we make two passes now: One to remove ourselves, and the other
one to search for conflicts. Mixing up both made it pretty hard for me
to follow the code.
Second, I've removed the _mylock and mylock pointer/struct logic and
replaced it with the "mylock.pid.pid != 0 ? &mylock : NULL" when calling
g_lock_store. To me, this focuses the logic whether to add ourselves in
one place instead of spreading it around in the whole routine.
