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. (cherry-pick d74e6f6c0de55fc588b1ac09c88eb0fb8b8600af)
