Change certain heavily used network related mutexes and rwlocks to
reside on their own cache line to prevent false sharing with other nearby structures, especially for those in the .bss segment. NB: Those mutexes and rwlocks with variables next to them that get changed on every invocation do not benefit from their own cache line. Actually it may be net negative because two cache misses would be incurred in those cases.
