mem: Signal the local monitor when clearing the global monitor
ARM systems require the coordination of the global and local
monitors. When the system is run without caches the global monitor is
implemented in the abstract memory object. This change adds a callback
from the abstract memory that notifies the local monitor when the
global monitor is cleared.
Additionally, for ARM systems the local monitor signals the event
register and wakes the thread context up. Subsequent wait-for-event
(WFE) instructions will be immediately signaled.
