Hi.

As was discussed, it will be helpful to have functions, that are able
to acquire lock recursively, even if lock itself isn't recursable.

Here is a patch, that should implement this functionality:

	http://people.freebsd.org/~pjd/patches/mtx_lock_recurse.patch

I also added a KASSERT() to protect against mixed locking modes, e.g.:

	mtx_lock(&mtx);
	[...]
	mtx_lock_recurse(&mtx);
	[...]
	mtx_unlock(&mtx);
	[...]
	mtx_unlock_recurse(&mtx);

This is not permitted, but this should work just fine:

	mtx_lock(&mtx);
	[...]
	mtx_lock_recurse(&mtx);
	[...]
	mtx_unlock_recurse(&mtx);
	[...]
	mtx_unlock(&mtx);
