From: Martin Wilck <[email protected]>

log_safe() could race with log_thread_stop(); simply
checking the value of log_thr has never been safe. By converting the
mutexes to static initializers, we avoid having to destroy them, and thus
possibly accessing a destroyed mutex in log_safe(). Furthermore, taking
both the logev_lock and the logq_lock makes sure the logarea isn't freed
while we are writing to it.
