SpinLockClassEnter

This is used by the class constructor code to decide if it should run the class constructor; this returns true if the class constructor, false if it should not.

The integer value passed should default to 0. If it's 0, it (safely) initializes it to the current thread id, until SpinLockClassExit is called, which sets it to -1. If the value at the time of entry is the current thread id, it returns false (it's already running and we're calling it recursively). If it's any other value the class constructor is already running in another thread, so does a spin lock loop, with yields, until that thread is done.
