commit 29d794863cd6e03115d3670707cc873a9965ba92

    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.
