runtime: prevent race between setNextBarrierPC and sigprof

Currently, setNextBarrierPC manipulates the stack barriers without
acquiring the stack barrier lock. This is mostly okay because
setNextBarrierPC also runs synchronously on the G and prevents safe
points, but this doesn't prevent a sigprof from occurring during a
setNextBarrierPC and performing a traceback.

Given that setNextBarrierPC simply sets one entry in the stack barrier
array, this is almost certainly safe in reality. However, given that
this depends on a subtle argument, which may not hold in the future,
and that setNextBarrierPC almost never happens, making it nowhere near
performance-critical, we can simply acquire the stack barrier lock and
be sure that the synchronization will work.

Updates #12528. For 1.5.3.
