runtime: always clear stack barriers on G exit

Currently the runtime fails to clear a G's stack barriers in gfput if
the G's stack allocation is _FixedStack bytes. This causes the runtime
to panic if the following sequence of events happens:

1) The runtime installs stack barriers on a G.

2) The G exits by calling runtime.Goexit. Since this does not
   necessarily return through the stack barriers installed on the G,
   there may still be untriggered stack barriers left on the G's stack
   in recorded in g.stkbar.

3) The runtime calls gfput to add the exiting G to the free pool. If
   the G's stack allocation is _FixedStack bytes, we fail to clear
   g.stkbar.

4) A new G starts and allocates the G that was just added to the free
   pool.

5) The new G begins to execute and overwrites the stack slots that had
   stack barriers in them.

6) The garbage collector enters mark termination, attempts to remove
   stack barriers from the new G, and finds that they've been
   overwritten.

Fix this by clearing the stack barriers in gfput in the case where it
reuses the stack.

Fixes #11256.

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
