Create a global thread hash table to speed up thread lookup, use
rwlock to protect the table. In old code, thread lookup is done with process lock held, to find a thread, kernel has to iterate through process and thread list, this is quite inefficient. With this change, test shows in extreme case performance is dramatically improved. Earlier patch was reviewed by: jhb, julian
