Increase fork signal safety for single-threaded processes [BZ #19703]
This provides a band-aid and addresses the scenario where fork is called from a signal handler while the process is in the malloc subsystem (or has acquired the libio list lock). It does not address the general issue of async-signal-safety of fork; multi-threaded processes are not covered, and some glibc subsystems have fork handlers which are not async-signal-safe.
