SPDK threads generally run on dedicated cores and locks should be rarely
contended. Thus, putting a thread to sleep while waiting on a mutex does
not free up CPU cycles for other pthreads or processes. Even when
running in interrupt mode, lock contention should be low enough that
spinlocks are a net win by avoiding context switches.
