coroutine: switch per-thread free pool to a global pool

ucontext-based coroutines use a free pool to reduce allocations and
deallocations of coroutine objects.  The pool is per-thread, presumably
to improve locality.  However, as coroutines are usually allocated in
a vcpu thread and freed in the I/O thread, the pool accounting gets
screwed up and we end allocating and freeing a coroutine for every I/O
request.  This is expensive since large objects are allocated via the
kernel, and are not cached by the C runtime.

Fix by switching to a global pool.  This is safe since we're protected
by the global mutex.
