runtime: fix race that dropped GoSysExit events from trace

This makes TestTraceStressStartStop much less flaky.
Running under stress, it changes the failure rate from
above 1/100 to under 1/50000. That very unlikely
failure happens when an unexpected GoSysExit is
written. Not sure how that happens yet, but it is much
less important.

Fixes #11953.
