runtime: always run stackalloc on scheduler stack
Avoids deadlocks like the one below, in which a stack split happened in order to call lock(&stacks), but then the stack unsplit cannot run because stacks is now locked. The only code calling stackalloc that wasn't on a scheduler stack already was malg, which creates a new goroutine. runtime.futex+0x23 /home/rsc/g/go/src/pkg/runtime/linux/amd64/sys.s:139 runtime.futex() futexsleep+0x50 /home/rsc/g/go/src/pkg/runtime/linux/thread.c:51 futexsleep(0x5b0188, 0x300000003, 0x100020000, 0x4159e2) futexlock+0x85 /home/rsc/g/go/src/pkg/runtime/linux/thread.c:119 futexlock(0x5b0188, 0x5b0188) runtime.lock+0x56 /home/rsc/g/go/src/pkg/runtime/linux/thread.c:158 runtime.lock(0x5b0188, 0x7f0d27b4a000) runtime.stackfree+0x4d /home/rsc/g/go/src/pkg/runtime/malloc.goc:336 runtime.stackfree(0x7f0d27b4a000, 0x1000, 0x8, 0x7fff37e1e218) runtime.oldstack+0xa6 /home/rsc/g/go/src/pkg/runtime/proc.c:705 runtime.oldstack() runtime.lessstack+0x22 /home/rsc/g/go/src/pkg/runtime/amd64/asm.s:224 runtime.lessstack() ----- lessstack called from goroutine 2 ----- runtime.lock+0x56 /home/rsc/g/go/src/pkg/runtime/linux/thread.c:158 runtime.lock(0x5b0188, 0x40a5e2) runtime.stackalloc+0x55 /home/rsc/g/go/src/pkg/runtime/malloc.c:316 runtime.stackalloc(0x1000, 0x4055b0) runtime.malg+0x3d /home/rsc/g/go/src/pkg/runtime/proc.c:803 runtime.malg(0x1000, 0x40add9) runtime.newproc1+0x12b /home/rsc/g/go/src/pkg/runtime/proc.c:854 runtime.newproc1(0xf840027440, 0x7f0d27b49230, 0x0, 0x49f238, 0x40, ...) runtime.newproc+0x2f /home/rsc/g/go/src/pkg/runtime/proc.c:831 runtime.newproc(0x0, 0xf840027440, 0xf800000010, 0x44b059) ...
