binutils: backport fix for gold with theads enabled from 2.36.0

* building chromium with gold and threads triggers this issue:
  [1/2] SOLINK ./libcbe.so
  FAILED: libcbe.so libcbe.so.TOC
  python "../../git/src/build/toolchain/gcc_solink_wrapper.py" --readelf="readelf" --nm="nm" --sofile="./libcbe.so" --tocfile="./libcbe.so.TOC" --output="./libcbe.so" -- i686-oe-linux-g++  -m32 -march=core2 -mtune=core2 -msse3 -mfpmath=sse -fstack-protector-strong  -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wformat -Wformat-security -Werror=format-security  --sysroot=chromium/84.0.4147.89-4-r41.1/recipe-sysroot -shared -Wl,-soname="libcbe.so" -fPIC -Wl,-z,noexecstack -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now -Wl,-z,defs -Wl,--as-needed -fuse-ld=gold -Wl,--threads -Wl,--thread-count=4 -m32 -Wl,-O2 -Wl,--gc-sections -rdynamic --sysroot=../../recipe-sysroot -L../../recipe-sysroot/lib -L../../recipe-sysroot/usr/lib -Lchromium/84.0.4147.89-4-r41.1/recipe-sysroot -o "./libcbe.so" @"./libcbe.so.rsp"
  collect2: fatal error: ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault]
  compilation terminated.

* removing threads/thread-count is one possible work around, but then
  the use of gold for performance makes even less sense, that's why
  chromium from meta-browser uses LLD by default:

  but lets backport this as other recipes might also reproduce this
  issue

+Subject: [PATCH] gold: ensure file_counts_lock is initialized before using
+
+Since upgrading to binutils 2.35 I've been experiencing random memory
+corruption related crashes with ld.gold --threads. It's caused by
+multiple threads concurrently pushing elements onto the shared
+std::vector in File_read::record_file_read(). This vector is supposed to
+be protected by file_counts_lock, but that is initialized lazily and
+might be NULL when File_read::open() is called, in which case
+Hold_optional_lock silently skips locking it.
+
+Fix by calling the initialize() method before attempting to acquire the
+lock, the same as other places that use file_counts_lock.
+
+        PR 26827
+        * fileread.cc (File_read::open): Ensure file_counts_lock is
+        initialized.
+        * testsuite/Makefile.am (check_PROGRAMS): Add a test that passes
+        -Wl,--threads.
+        * testsuite/Makefile.in: Regenerate.
