Yes there is locking. The locking is related to the free list and the
scoreboard list. This could possibly be broken down to finer granularity
to lock the process_score list and lock each of the worker_score lists if
it seemed necessary. If new shmem allocations need to be made, the only
locking would be to add the memory to the free list.
