 Make rts/ThreadLabels.c threadsafe for debug runtime.

 rts/ThreadLabels.c has a global hashtable for each
 running haskell thread. It's not synchronized across
 OS threads.

 Was discovered when ran -debug build of ghc itself as:

     $ ghc-stage2 -j8 +RTS -A256M -l

 and glibc detected double-free corruption:

     #2  in __libc_message (do_abort=do_abort at entry=2,
         fmt=fmt at entry=0x7fe0bcebf368 "*** Error in `%s': %s: 0x%s ***\n")
     #3  in malloc_printerr (action=3, str=0x7fe0bcebf4c0 "double free or
 corruption (fasttop)",
         ptr=<optimized out>)
     #4  in _int_free (av=<optimized out>, p=<optimized out>, have_lock=0)
     #5  in stgFree (p=0x7fe060001820) at rts/RtsUtils.c:108
     #6  in freeHashTable (table=0x5929320, freeDataFun=0x36374df
 <stgFree>) at rts/Hash.c:360
     #7  in freeThreadLabelTable () at rts/ThreadLabels.c:37
     #8  in hs_exit_ (wait_foreign=rtsFalse) at rts/RtsStartup.c:403
     #9  in shutdownHaskellAndExit (n=0, fastExit=0) at
 rts/RtsStartup.c:481
     #10 in hs_main (...) at rts/RtsMain.c:91
     #11 in main (...) at ghc/hschooks.c:63

 Exposed itself after commit:
