I would change mcs_node to cna_node, next to mcs::next and locked to mcs::locked
in the very first node. Other than that, this is great. Thanks, Peter and Longman!

I should probably stick this graphic in the comment at the top of the file, 
instead of a comment to find_successor() (or whatever this function ends up 
being called).
