Currently, newArena holds the gcBitsArenas lock across allocating memory from the OS for a new gcBits arena. This is a global lock and allocating physical memory can be expensive, so this has the potential to cause high lock contention, especially since every single span sweep operation calls newArena (via newMarkBits). Improve the situation by temporarily dropping the lock across allocation. This means the caller now has to revalidate its assumptions after the lock is dropped, so this also factors out that code path and reinvokes it after the lock is acquired.
