use_file: Remove use of spin-locks

Don't spin when polling /dev/random. We also remove the use of spin
locks when opening the persistent fd for platforms that require it.

For both these cases, we can just use the pthread lock/unlock methods
in libc. This includes adding Mutex and DropGuard abstractions.
