RFR(L): 8235795: replace monitor list mux{Acquire,Release}(&gListLock) with spin locks

[Robbin Ehn]

Hi Dan,

Thanks for addressing my comments in my review of this part before you split 
this out from 8153224.

I looked at above, I have nothing further, very sorry for being very late to this.

Thanks, Robbin
