Thanks to Sergey Kaplun.

(cherry picked from commit 88ed9fdbbba632d174a473a0a97c914089c2916d)

When we use the aforementioned functions to set a metatable for types
with one shared metatable, we must flush all traces since they are
specialized to base metatables. If we have enabled vmevent handlers,
they invoke a callback on trace flushing. This callback may reallocate
the Lua stack. Thus invalidates the reference to the `TValue *` object
`o` by the given index in the `lua_setmetatable()` and leads to a
heap-use-after-free error.

This patch fixes the behaviour by recalculating the address by the given
index after possible stack reallocation.

Sergey Kaplun:
* added the description and the test for the problem
