All usage sites have been checked for potential parallel decoder usage and fixed where necessary. Kees confirmed that the pstore decoding is strictly single threaded so there should be no surprises. Allocate them in the rs control structure sized depending on the number of roots for the chosen codec and adapt the decoder code to make use of them. Document the fact that decode operations based on a particular rs control instance cannot run in parallel and the caller has to ensure that as it's not possible to provide a proper locking construct which fits all use cases.
