Remarks
Other threads attempting to execute _AcquireSpinLock with the same variable see zero in the Lock variable until the thread that has the lock calls _ReleaseSpinLock on that variable. _AcquireSpinLock and _ReleaseSpinLock must occur in pairs that use the same address.
This routine is only available as an intrinsic.
