    libalias: Serialize updates to the global instance list
    
    libalias maintains a global list of all libalias handles.  The list was
    updated without any locking, but nothing prevents updates from running
    concurrently.
    
    MFC after:      1 week
    
    (cherry picked from commit 2ff705f32a2033201a8f83f1ade5ddbc0460387d)
