malloc: Run fork handler as late as possible [BZ #19431]
Previously, a thread M invoking fork would acquire locks in this order:
(M1) malloc arena locks (in the registered fork handler)
(M2) libio list lock
A thread F invoking flush (NULL) would acquire locks in this order:
(F1) libio list lock
(F2) individual _IO_FILE locks
A thread G running getdelim would use this order:
(G1) _IO_FILE lock
(G2) malloc arena lock
After executing (M1), (F1), (G1), none of the threads can make progress.
This commit changes the fork lock order to:
(M'1) libio list lock
(M'2) malloc arena locks
It explicitly encodes the lock order in the implementations of fork,
and does not rely on the registration order, thus avoiding the deadlock.
