Dereferencing a NULL pointer in SpdyClientSession::clear()
- At `SpdyClientSession.cc:28`, `static ClassAllocator<SpdyClientSession>
spdyClientSessionAllocator` creates an instance of `SpdyClientSession` using
the default constructor.
- From that point on, `spdyClientSessionAllocator.alloc()` essentially
calls memcpy on this prototype as an optimization to return new instances.
- The regular usage of `SpdyClientSession` ensures that
`SpdyClientSession::init()` would be called before its destructor is invoked.
This init function sets the value of the `mutex` pointer inside
`SpdyClientSession` from its initial value of `NULL`.
- When `ClassAllocator` is being freed, the destructor on its
`SpdyClientSession` prototype is called. However, the `mutex` inside the
prototype is `NULL` and dereferencing it to get to
`this->mutex->thread_holding` causes a SEGFAULT.
