// On systems that use glibc, calling malloc can create a new arena,
// and creating a new arena can read /sys/devices/system/cpu/online.
// If we are using cgo, we will call malloc when creating a new thread.
// That can break TestExtraFiles if we create a new thread that creates
// a new arena and opens the /sys file while we are checking for open
// file descriptors. Work around the problem by creating threads up front.
// See issue 25628.
