Benjamin Walsh 04ed860c68 kernel: make _thread.sched_locked a non-atomic operator variable

sched_locked count.

Benjamin Walsh 6209218f40 kernel: optimize ms-to-ticks for certain tick frequencies
Some tick frequencies lend themselves to optimized conversions from ms
to ticks and vice-versa.

- 1000Hz which does not need any conversion
- 500Hz, 250Hz, 125Hz where the division/multiplication are a straight
  shift since they are power-of-two factors of 1000.

In addition, some more generally used values are made to use optimized
conversion equations rather than the generic one that uses 64-bit math,
and often results in calling compiler intrinsics.

These values are: 100Hz, 50Hz, 25Hz, 20Hz, 10Hz, 1Hz (the last one used
in some testing).

Avoiding the 64-bit math intrisics has the additional benefit, in
addition to increased performance, of using a significant lower amount
of stack space: 52 bytes on ARM Cortex-M and 80 bytes on x86.
