Cherry Mui bed2b7cf41 runtime: delay incrementing freeindex in malloc
When the GC is scanning some memory (possibly conservatively),
finding a pointer, while concurrently another goroutine is
allocating an object at the same address as the found pointer, the
GC may see the pointer before the object and/or the heap bits are
initialized. This may cause the GC to see bad pointers and
possibly crash.

To prevent this, we make it that the scanner can only see the
object as allocated after the object and the heap bits are
initialized. As the scanner uses the freeindex to determine if an
object is allocated, we delay the increment of freeindex after the
initialization.

As currently in some code path finding the next free index and
updating the free index to a new slot past it is coupled, this
needs a small refactoring. In the new code mspan.nextFreeIndex
return the next free index but not update it (although allocCache
is updated). mallocgc will update it at a later time.

Fixes #54596.
