Vlocks are only useful in very specialised situations, so the
precence of a C header file is more confusing than helpful. All
current use of vlocks, including allocation of space for the lock
structures themselves, is done in assembler.
This patch removes the C interface, so that people are not tempted
to use vlocks when they shouldn't.
