stdlib: resolve a double lock init issue after fork [BZ #32994]
The __abort_fork_reset_child (introduced in d40ac01cbbc66e6d9dbd8e3485605c63b2178251) call resets the lock after the fork. This causes a DRD regression in valgrind (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=503668), as it's effectively a double initialization, despite it being actually ok in this case. As suggested in https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32994#c2 we replace it here with a memcpy of another initialized lock instead, which makes valgrind happy. Reviewed-by: Florian Weimer <fweimer@redhat.com> (cherry picked from commit d9a348d0927c7a1aec5caf3df3fcd36956b3eb23)
