Threading library calls _pre before the fork, allowing the rtld to
lock itself to ensure that other threads of the process are out of
dynamic linker. _post releases the locks.
This allows the rtld to have consistent state in the child. Although
child may legitimately call only async-safe functions, the call may
need plt relocation resolution, and this requires working rtld.

From the PR description:
The gcc runtime's _Unwind_Find_FDE function, invoked during exception
handling's stack unwinding, is not safe to execute from within multiple
threads. FreeBSD' s dl_iterate_phdr() however permits multiple threads
to pass through it though. The result is surprisingly reliable infinite
looping of one or more threads if they just happen to be unwinding at
the same time.
Introduce the new lock that is write locked around the dl_iterate_pdr,
thus providing required exclusion for the stack unwinders.
