It has been properly implemented in pygolang:

pygolang@bb9a94c3

prepares the code to be moved into pyx/nogil, as sync.Mutex - contrary
to threading.Lock - is present also in pyx/nogil world.

The limitation that only one simultaneous watch request over one wlink
is possible was added in April (b4857f66) when both Watch and WatchLink
locking was not there and marked as XXX. That locking was added in July
(85d86a32) though, so there should be real need to simultaneous watch
requests over one wlink.

Also the limit implementation had a bug: it was setting handlingWatch
back to 0, but _after_ sending reply to client. This way a situation was
possible when client is woken up first, sends another watch request,
wcfs was not yet scheduled, handlingWatch is still _1_, and watch
request is rejected. This bug is very likely to happen when running wcfs
tests with 2 CPU machine or with just GOMAXPROCS=2:

    S: wlink 6: tx: "0 error: 3: another watch request is already in progress\n"
    C: watch  : rx: '0 error: 3: another watch request is already in progress\n'
    C: watch  : rx fatal: 'error: 3: another watch request is already in progress'
    C: watch  : rx: ''

If we would need to maintain the limit, we should move setting
handlingWatch=0 just before sending final reply to client, but since the
need for the limit is not there anymore, let's fix it by removing the
limit altogether.

which has glibc 2.23 but mlock2 was added only to glibc 2.27.
The kernel (4.4.x) has mlock2 though.
