correct locking in stdio functions that tried to be lock-free
these functions must behave as if they obtain the lock via flockfile to satisfy POSIX requirements. since another thread can provably hold the lock when they are called, they must wait to obtain the lock before they can return, even if the correct return value could be obtained without locking. in the case of fclose and freopen, failure to do so could cause correct (albeit obscure) programs to crash or otherwise misbehave; in the case of feof, ferror, and fwide, failure to obtain the lock could sometimes return incorrect results. in any case, having these functions proceed and return while another thread held the lock was wrong.
