Race deduplication code proved to be a performance bottleneck in the past if suppressions/annotations are used, or just some races left unaddressed. And we still get user complaints about this:

ReportRace already has several layers of caching for racy pcs/addresses to make deduplication faster. However, ReportRace still takes a global mutex (ThreadRegistry and ReportMutex) during deduplication and also calls mmap/munmap (which take process-wide semaphore in kernel), this makes deduplication non-scalable.
This patch moves race deduplication outside of global mutexes and also removes all mmap/munmap calls.
As the result, race_stress.cc with 100 threads and 10000 iterations become 30x faster:
before:
real 0m21.673s
user 0m5.932s
sys 0m34.885s
after:
real 0m0.720s
user 0m23.646s
sys 0m1.254s
