Fix deadlock in _int_free consistency check
This patch fixes a deadlock in the fastbin consistency check.
If we fail the fast check due to concurrent modifications to
the next chunk or system_mem, we should not lock if we already
have the arena lock. Simplify the check to make it obviously
correct.
* malloc/malloc.c (_int_free): Fix deadlock bug in consistency check.
