QemuLockable is a polymorphic lock type that takes an object and
knows which function to use for locking and unlocking. The
implementation could use C11 _Generic, but since the support is
not very widespread I am instead using __builtin_choose_expr and
__builtin_types_compatible_p, which are already used by
include/qemu/atomic.h.
QemuLockable can be used to implement lock guards, or to pass around
a lock in such a way that a function can release it and re-acquire it.
The next patch will do this for CoQueue.
