------- Additional Comments from David Levin <levin at chromium.org>
Thanks.

I've made the remaining const methods on HashTable thread safe as well.

The function definition includes it "atomicIncrement(int volatile*)".  The only
place I could find this function used was in RefCountedLeakCounter.cpp and the
variable that it uses for atomicIncrement is defined as volatile.

After thinking about it more, I realized that this is like the const modifier
in a prototype which indicates that the function can handle a volatile int* (as
well as an int*), so I've removed the volatile for all of these variables.
