Removed useless locks to DeviceContainer::m_devices_mutex, as they were all already protected by m_devices_population_mutex.
We have no interest in blocking other threads that were potentially reading devices at the same time so this seems fine.
This simplifies the code, and I've adjusted a few comments which mentioned possible deadlock that should now be totally gone.
The deadlock could have happen if a thread directly called EmulatedController::UpdateReferences(), while another another thread also reached EmulatedController::UpdateReferences() within a call to ControllerInterface::UpdateDevices(), as the mentioned function locked both the DeviceContainer::m_devices_mutex and s_get_state_mutex at the same time.
The deadlock was frequent on game emulation startup on Android, due to the UpdateReferences() call in InputConfig::LoadConfig() and the UI thread triggering calls to ControllerInterface::UpdateDevices().
It could also have happened on Desktop if a user pressed "Refresh Devices" manually in the UI while the input config was loading.
Also brought some UpdateReferences() comments and thread safety fixes from https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/9489
These messages apply to the User directory regardless of
whether it's global or local, so we shouldn't specify "global".
Also changing "directory" to "folder", just for consistency
with "GC folder" in the same sentence.
This should make C++20 and std::filesystem work. (Not that
we really can use std::filesystem much on Android since
it doesn't work with scoped storage...)
We implement this by first rounding to nearest integer using the current
rouding mode, then converting this value from floating point to an integral
value.
Prefer using eax to isolate the sign bit. This saves a byte when the
destination ends up as r8-15, because those require a REX prefix.
Before:
41 8B C5 mov eax,r13d
41 C1 ED 1F shr r13d,1Fh
44 03 E8 add r13d,eax
41 D1 FD sar r13d,1
After:
41 8B C5 mov eax,r13d
C1 E8 1F shr eax,1Fh
44 03 E8 add r13d,eax
41 D1 FD sar r13d,1
This function was deprecated in ffmpeg in January[1], while its
replacement got introduced in 2015[2], so now might be the time to start
using it in Dolphin. :)

This moves the only direct call to zlib’s crc32() into its own
translation unit, but that operation is cold enough that this won’t
matter in the slightest. crc32_z() would be more appropriate, but
Android has an older zlib version…
