[Tarantool-patches] [PATCH v3 2/4] fiber: leak stack if we unable to revert guard page

[Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@gmail.com>]

At the moment we setup fiber's stack with a guard page
which is used to detect stack overrun. This page is just
a regular page taken from a slab with PROT_NONE attribute.

Once fiber is no longer needed we try to revert this
attribute back to PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE. Still there
is a small chance (well, pretty small I would say) that
this attempt get failed.

Thus in such case we should not allow to reuse such memory
area (because slab engine expects the memory it handles is
solid in terms of permissions). IOW, lets explicitly leak
such memory with error message, it is a bit better than
panic and gives administrator a chance to gracefully restart
tarantool instance or relax memory pressue somehow one the node.

I put FIXME into the code since I think we could implement
some more intelligent handling and collect such corrupted
slabs into a list and retry to restore permissions in background.
