Benjamin Gray 3067b89ab6 selftests/powerpc/dscr: Improve DSCR explicit random test case
The tests currently have a single writer thread updating the system
DSCR with a 1/1000 chance looped only 100 times. So only around one in
10 runs actually do anything.

* Add multiple threads to the dscr_explicit_random_test case.
* Use a barrier to make all the threads start work as simultaneously as
  possible.
* Use a rwlock and make all threads have a reasonable chance to write to
  the DSCR on each iteration.
  PTHREAD_RWLOCK_PREFER_WRITER_NONRECURSIVE_NP is used to prevent
  writers from starving while all the other threads keep reading.
  Logging the reads/writes shows a decent mix across the whole test.
* Allow all threads a chance to write.
* Make the chance of writing more likely.
