nptl: Avoid fork handler lock for async-signal-safe fork [BZ #24161]
Commit 27761a1042daf01987e7d79636d0c41511c6df3c ("Refactor atfork
handlers") introduced a lock, atfork_lock, around fork handler list
accesses. It turns out that this lock occasionally results in
self-deadlocks in malloc/tst-mallocfork2:

#10 0x0000000000402362 in main (argc=<optimized out>, argv=<optimized out>)
at ../support/test-driver.c:168
If no locking happens in the single-threaded case (where fork is
expected to be async-signal-safe), this deadlock is avoided.
(pthread_atfork is not required to be async-signal-safe, so a fork
call from a signal handler interrupting pthread_atfork is not
a problem.)
