Summary:
The gdb-remote async thread cannot modify thread state while the main thread
holds a lock on the state. Don't use locking thread iteration for bt all.
Specifically, the deadlock manifests when lldb attempts to JIT code to
symbolicate objective c while backtracing. As part of this code path,
SetPrivateState() is called on an async thread. This async thread will
block waiting for the thread_list lock held by the main thread in
CommandObjectIterateOverThreads. The main thread will also block on the
async thread during DoResume (although with a timeout), leading to a
deadlock. Due to the timeout, the deadlock is not immediately apparent,
but the inferior will be left in an invalid state after the bt all completes,
and objective-c symbols will not be successfully resolved in the backtrace.
