Make error handling functions thread-safe.

Summary

Make the error-handling functions thread-safe.

Prior to this change, error handling functions must be installed
and removed only inside of an llvm_[start/stop]_multithreading
pair. This change allows error handling functions to be installed
any time, and from any thread.

Looks good with a slightly relaxed comment.

lib/Support/ErrorHandling.cpp

74–77

This comment is a bit too specific IMO. It is never a good idea to call a user provided callback while holding a mutex.
