[PATCH][BZ 21357] unwind-dw2-fde: Call free() outside of unwind mutex

[PATCH][BZ 21357] unwind-dw2-fde: Call free() outside of unwind mutex

[Rabin Vincent]

From: Rabin Vincent <rabinv@axis.com>

__deregister_frame_info_bases() calls free() while holding a mutex which
is also used from _Unwind_Find_FDE().  This leads to a deadlock if
AddressSanitizer uses _Unwind_Backtrace() from its free()
implementation.

LGTM, I assume you actually tested on some platform, right? Do you have write access?

Yes, I tested it on a 32-bit MIPS platform.  No, I don't have write
access.

Thanks.
