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.
