Michael Anthony Knyszek eb3c6a93c3 runtime: disable stack shrinking in activeStackChans race window
Currently activeStackChans is set before a goroutine blocks on a channel
operation in an unlockf passed to gopark. The trouble is that the
unlockf is called *after* the G's status is changed, and the G's status
is what is used by a concurrent mark worker (calling suspendG) to
determine that a G has successfully been suspended. In this window
between the status change and unlockf, the mark worker could try to
shrink the G's stack, and in particular observe that activeStackChans is
false. This observation will cause the mark worker to *not* synchronize
with concurrent channel operations when it should, and so updating
pointers in the sudog for the blocked goroutine (which may point to the
goroutine's stack) races with channel operations which may also
manipulate the pointer (read it, dereference it, update it, etc.).

Fix the problem by adding a new atomically-updated flag to the g struct
called parkingOnChan, which is non-zero in the race window above. Then,
in isShrinkStackSafe, check if parkingOnChan is zero. The race is
resolved like so:

* Blocking G sets parkingOnChan, then changes status in gopark.
* Mark worker successfully suspends blocking G.
* If the mark worker observes parkingOnChan is non-zero when checking
  isShrinkStackSafe, then it's not safe to shrink (we're in the race
  window).
* If the mark worker observes parkingOnChan as zero, then because
  the mark worker observed the G status change, it can be sure that
  gopark's unlockf completed, and gp.activeStackChans will be correct.

The risk of this change is low, since although it reduces the number of
places that stack shrinking is allowed, the window here is incredibly
small. Essentially, every place that it might crash now is replaced with
no shrink.

This change adds a test, but the race window is so small that it's hard
to trigger without a well-placed sleep in park_m. Also, this change
fixes stackGrowRecursive in proc_test.go to actually allocate a 128-byte
stack frame. It turns out the compiler was destructuring the "pad" field
and only allocating one uint64 on the stack.

Fixes #40641.
