From: Martin Wilck <mwilck@xxxxxxxx> log_safe() could race with log_thread_stop(); simply checking the value of log_thr has never been safe. By converting the mutexes to static initializers, we avoid having to destroy them, and thus possibly accessing a destroyed mutex in log_safe(). Furthermore, taking both the logev_lock and the logq_lock makes sure the logarea isn't freed while we are writing to it.
