Calling cgocallback from a signal handler can fail when using the race detector. Calling cgocallback will lead to a call to newextram which will call oneNewExtraM which will call racegostart. The racegostart function will set up some race detector data structures, and doing that will sometimes call the C memory allocator. If we are running the signal handler from a signal that interrupted the C memory allocator, we will crash or hang. Instead, change the signal handler code to call needm and dropm. The needm function will grab allocated m and g structures and initialize the g to use the current stack--the signal stack. That is all we need to safely call code that allocates memory and checks whether it needs to split the stack. This may temporarily leave us with no m available to run a cgo callback, but that is OK in this case since the code we call will quickly either crash or call dropm to return the m. Implementing this required changing some of the setSignalstackSP functions to avoid a write barrier. These functions never need a write barrier but in some cases generated one anyhow because on some systems the ss_sp field is a pointer.
