Subject: [PATCH] QLibrary: fix deadlock caused by fix to QTBUG-39642

Commit ae6f73e8566fa76470937aca737141183929a5ec inserted a mutex around
the entire load_sys(). We had reasoed that deadlocks would only occur if
the object creation in instance() recursed into its own instance(),
which was already a bug. But we had forgotten that dlopen()/
LoadLibrary() executes initialization code from the module being loaded,
which could cause a recursion back into the same QPluginLoader or
QLibrary object. This recursion is benign because the module *is* loaded
and dlopen()/LoadLibrary() returns the same handle.

[ChangeLog][QtCore][QLibrary and QPluginLoader] Fixed a deadlock that
would happen if the plugin or library being loaded has load-time
initialization code (C++ global variables) that recursed back into the
same QLibrary or QPluginLoader object.

PS: QLibraryPrivate::loadPlugin() updates pluginState outside a mutex
lock, so pluginState should be made an atomic variable. Once that is
done, we'll only need locking the mutex to update errorString (no
locking before loading).
