Subject: [PATCH] Correct locking and cancellation cleanup in syslog functions
 (bug 26100)

Properly serialize the access to the global state shared between the
syslog functions, to avoid races in multithreaded processes.  Protect a
local allocation in the __vsyslog_internal function from leaking during
cancellation.
