runtime: fix pprof cpu profile corruption on arm/mips/mipsle

CL 42652 changed the profile handler for mips/mipsle to
avoid recording a profile when in atomic functions, for fear
of interrupting the 32-bit simulation of a 64-bit atomic with
a lock. The profile logger itself uses 64-bit atomics and might
deadlock (#20146).

The change was to accumulate a count of dropped profile events
and then send the count when the next ordinary event was sent:

	if prof.hz != 0 {
	+	if (GOARCH == "mips" || GOARCH == "mipsle") && lostAtomic64Count > 0 {
	+		cpuprof.addLostAtomic64(lostAtomic64Count)
	+		lostAtomic64Count = 0
	+	}
 		cpuprof.add(gp, stk[:n])
 	}

CL 117057 extended this behavior to include GOARCH == "arm".

Unfortunately, the inserted cpuprof.addLostAtomic64 differs from
the original cpuprof.add in that it neglects to acquire the lock
protecting the profile buffer.

This has caused a steady stream of flakes on the arm builders
for the past 12 months, ever since CL 117057 landed.

This CL moves the lostAtomic count into the profile buffer and
then lets the existing addExtra calls take care of it, instead of
duplicating the locking logic.

Fixes #24991.
