Summary:
In order to avoid starting a separate thread to return unused memory to
the system (the thread interferes with process startup on Android,
Zygota waits for all threads to exit before fork, but this thread never
exits), try to return it right after free.

Patch by Aleksey Shlyapnikov.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D27003
llvm-svn: 288091
Race deduplication code proved to be a performance bottleneck in the past if suppressions/annotations are used, or just some races left unaddressed. And we still get user complaints about this:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/thread-sanitizer/hB0WyiTI4e4
ReportRace already has several layers of caching for racy pcs/addresses to make deduplication faster. However, ReportRace still takes a global mutex (ThreadRegistry and ReportMutex) during deduplication and also calls mmap/munmap (which take process-wide semaphore in kernel), this makes deduplication non-scalable.
This patch moves race deduplication outside of global mutexes and also removes all mmap/munmap calls.
As the result, race_stress.cc with 100 threads and 10000 iterations become 30x faster:
before:
real 0m21.673s
user 0m5.932s
sys 0m34.885s
after:
real 0m0.720s
user 0m23.646s
sys 0m1.254s
