…olving callstack (e.g. GetModuleName) While dumping leaks, vld calls GetModuleName during callstack resolving, but this function takes ldrlock. If other threads call functions taking ldrlock and also triggering vld code (e.g. module unloading) this leads to a deadlock. Signed-off-by: rglarix <rghetta@larix.it>

@rglarix Thank you for all PR's. I will try to find time to review in the coming weeks. We also need to try fix build on AppVeyor |

While dumping leaks, vld calls GetModuleName during callstack resolving, but this function needs ldrlock.
If other threads call functions taking ldrlock and also triggering vld code (e.g. module unloading) this leads to a deadlock.
The thread dumping leaks has g_heapMapLock and wants ldrlock, while the other has ldrlock (usually obtained directly by the windows method) and wants g_heapMapLock.
This patch fixes this situation by just taking ldrlock before doing a leak dump
