Apparently, galois::SpinLock is a massive class that takes >128 bytes to represent. This replaces the use of SpinLock with a simple atomic byte. In theory, we could combine the buffer field and the lock into one flags field, but we already have spare bits in the begin and end fields so that wouldn't change the size.
