This libgo patch by Cherry Zhang prevents a deadlock when a profiling signal arrives during a stack scan. A precise stack scan needs to unwind the stack. When it is unwinding the stack, if a profiling signal arrives, which also does a traceback, it may deadlock in dl_iterate_phdr. Prevent this deadlock by setting runtime_in_callers before traceback. Bootstrapped and ran Go testsuite on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu. Committed to mainline.
