nptl: Fix deadlock on atfork handler which calls dlclose (BZ#24595)
Some real-world cases rely upon that atfork handlers can call functions
that might change the atfork handlers, such as dlclose. Since 27761a10
(Refactor atfork handlers), all internal atfork handlers access is
protected with a simple lock, not allowing reentrancy. This leads to
deadlocks for the aforementioned scenario. Although this specific usage
is far from portable (as comment #2 in the bug report), glibc did allow
it.
This patch fixes by using a double-linked lists along with a lock
release while calling the atfork handlers.
