[gomp4] force global locks for nvptx targets


This patch forces GOACC_LOCK to use locks in global memory regardless if
the lock us for a worker or a gang. We were using a shared memory for
worker locks, but we ran into an issue with that would sporadically
involve deadlocks in worker reductions. We're still investigating that
issue, but for the time being, global locks appear to work albeit with a
lock contention penalty.

I've applied this patch to gomp-4_0-branch.

	gcc/
	* config/nvptx/nvptx.c (force_global_lock): New global variable.
	(nvptx_expand_oacc_lock): Use it to workaround a shared memory lock
	problem.
	(nvptx_xform_lock): Likewise.
