runtime: fix deadlock when gctrace
Calling ReadMemStats which does stoptheworld on m0 holding locks was not a good idea. Stoptheworld holding locks is a recipe for deadlocks (added check for this). Stoptheworld on g0 may or may not work (added check for this as well). As far as I understand scavenger will print incorrect numbers now, as stack usage is not subtracted from heap. But it's better than deadlocking. LGTM=khr R=golang-codereviews, rsc, khr CC=golang-codereviews, rlh https://golang.org/cl/124670043
