runtime: always keep global reference to mp until mexit completes
Ms are allocated via standard heap allocation (`new(m)`), which means we must keep them alive (i.e., reachable by the GC) until we are completely done using them. Ms are primarily reachable through runtime.allm. However, runtime.mexit drops the M from allm fairly early, long before it is done using the M structure. If that was the last reference to the M, it is now at risk of being freed by the GC and used for some other allocation, leading to memory corruption. Ms with a Go-allocated stack coincidentally already keep a reference to the M in sched.freem, so that the stack can be freed lazily. This reference has the side effect of keeping this Ms reachable. However, Ms with an OS stack skip this and are at risk of corruption. Fix this lifetime by extending sched.freem use to all Ms, with the value of mp.freeWait determining whether the stack needs to be freed or not. Fixes #56243.
