nss_nonlocal race condition

Upstream bug:

Description

There’s a race here because fct_start could be written before startp. Should throw up some memory barriers or something.

    static service_user *startp = NULL;
    static void *fct_start = NULL;
    …
    if (fct_start == NULL &&
        w.lookup(&startp, w.fct_name, &fct_start) != 0) {
        *w.status = NSS_STATUS_UNAVAIL;
        goto walk_nss_out;
    }
