runtime: make sure heapBitsBulkBarrier cannot be preempted
Russ Cox authored
Changes the torture test in #12068 from failing about 1/10 times
to not failing in almost 2,000 runs.

This was only happening in -race mode because functions are
bigger in -race mode, so a few of the helpers for heapBitsBulkBarrier
were not being inlined, and they were not marked nosplit,
so (only in -race mode) the write barrier was being preempted by GC,
causing missed pointer updates.

Filed issue #12069 for diagnosis of any other similar errors.

Fixes #12068.

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
