    Fix race in free() of fastbin chunk: BZ #15073

    Perform sanity check only if we have_lock.  Due to lockless nature of
fastbins
    we need to be careful derefencing pointers to fastbin entries
(chunksize(old)
    in this case) in multithreaded environments.

    The fix is to add have_lock to the if-condition checks.  The rest of the
patch
    only makes code more readable.

        * malloc/malloc.c (_int_free): Perform sanity check only if we
        have_lock.
