Previously, the tryLock and unlock methods on the jProfiling hash table
implementation did not contain any read or write barriers. While this is
fine on architectures such as x86-64, this causes problems with the weak
memory model used in Power. Failing to include the barriers could allow
reordering of memory accesses to cause incorrect behaviour with
unpredictable results.
