Manifested as increased memory usage in a Google production system.
Not an unbounded leak, but can significantly increase the number
of sudogs allocated between garbage collections.
I checked all the other calls to acquireSudog.
This is the only one that was missing a releaseSudog.

This change was necessary on the dev.garbage branch
to keep the garbage collector from seeing pointers into
invalid heap areas.
On this default (Go 1.4) branch, the change removes
some possibility for memory leaks.

semacquire might need to park the currently running G. It can
only park if called from the G stack (because it has no way of
saving the M stack state). So all calls to semacquire must come
from the G stack.
The three violators are GOMAXPROCS, ReadMemStats, and WriteHeapDump.
This change moves the semacquire call earlier, out of their C code
and into their Go code.
This seldom caused bugs because semacquire seldom actually had
to park the caller. But it did happen intermittently.
Fixes#8749

The C header files are the single point of truth:
every C enum constant Foo is available to Go as _Foo.
Remove or redirect duplicate Go declarations so they
cannot be out of sync.
Eventually we will need to put constants in Go, but for now having
them be out of sync with C is too risky. These predate the build
support for auto-generating Go constants from the C definitions.
