[PATCH] newlib: Unlock the mutex while calling atexit()'ed functions

The atexit()'ed function may deadlock if it waits for another thread
which calls atexit() in the current __call_atexit.c code. This patch
unlock __atexit_recursive_mutex while calling atexit()'ed functions
to avoid the deadlock mentioned above. glibc and Darwin do the same,
so it sounds reasonable.
