    kernel - Fix list corruption in dsched
    
    * dsched_thread_ctx_alloc() was not acquiring the global lock across
      calls to dsched_thread_io_alloc(), creating a race condition in the
      call to TAILQ_INSERT_TAIL(&tdio->diskctx->tdio_list, ...).
    
      This case can occur under heavy fork/exit loads, particularly when
      (soon) fork and exit get out from the MP lock, but even with the MP
      lock on the frontend it can occur against the dsched backend.
    
    * dsched_new_policy_thread_tdio() was not acquiring the global lock
      across its initial call to dsched_thread_io_alloc().  This case could
      only occur with extreme rarity.
