work around broken try_lock_for in gcc

Summary:
timed_mutex::try_lock_for is broken in gcc 4.8 (see
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54562), so this diff adds
a workaround using try_lock_until.  The internal implementation of
try_lock_for converts to try_lock_until, but it uses the steady_clock
instead of the system_clock as its time base.  In some gcc versions
these are the same clock so it works okay, but not in all.

Test Plan: unit tests
