global: adjust init count under lock
Our global initialization functions `git_libgit2_init()` and
`git_libgit2_shutdown()` both adjust a global init counter to determine
whether we are the first respectively last user of libgit2. On
Unix-systems do not do so under lock, though, which opens the
possibility of a race between these two functions:
Thread 1 Thread 2
git__n_inits = 0;
git_libgit2_init();
git_atomic_inc(&git__n_inits);
/* git__n_inits == 1 */
git_libgit2_shutdown();
if (git_atomic_dec(&git__n_inits) != 0)
/* git__n_inits == 0, no early exit here */
pthread_mutex_lock(&_init_mutex);
shutdown_common();
pthread_mutex_unlock(&_init_mutex);
pthread_mutex_lock(&_init_mutex);
init_once();
pthread_mutex_unlock(&_init_mutex);
So we can end up in a situation where we try to shutdown shared data
structures before they have been initialized.
Fix the race by always locking `_init_mutex` before incrementing or
decrementing `git__n_inits`.
