runtime: decouple consistent stats from mcache and allow P-less update
This change modifies the consistent stats implementation to keep the
per-P sequence counter on each P instead of each mcache. A valid mcache
is not available everywhere that we want to call e.g. allocSpan, as per
issue #42339. By decoupling these two, we can add a mechanism to allow
contexts without a P to update stats consistently.
In this CL, we achieve that with a mutex. In practice, it will be very
rare for an M to update these stats without a P. Furthermore, the stats
reader also only needs to hold the mutex across the update to "gen"
since once that changes, writers are free to continue updating the new
stats generation. Contention could thus only arise between writers
without a P, and as mentioned earlier, those should be rare.
A nice side-effect of this change is that the consistent stats acquire
and release API becomes simpler.
Fixes #42339.
