runtime, syscall: workaround for bug in Linux's execve
Linux's execve has (at the time of writing, and since v2.6.30) a bug when it ran
concurrently with clone, in that it would fail to set up some datastructures if
the thread count before and after some steps differed. This is described better
and in more detail by Colin King in Launchpad¹ and kernel² bugs. When a program
written in Go runtime.Exec's a setuid binary, this issue may cause the resulting
process to not have the expected uid. This patch works around the issue by using
a mutex to serialize exec and clone.
