The array of QAtomicPointer<QMutex> can be initialized using relaxed
stores of nullptr, since nullptr is the whole data. But once we store
an actual QMutex pointer in the array, we need to publish the indirect
data thus created. We did this, with testAndSetRelease(); what was
missing was a corresponding acquire fence on load, without which there
is no happens-before relationship between the writes performed by the
QMutex ctor and the reads performed by a subsequent mutex.lock(), say,
on the same data.
Fix by adding acquire fences to all loads. That includes the dtor,
since mutexes may have been created in different threads, and never
been imported into this_thread before the dtor is running.
As a drive-by, return a new'ed QMutex that was successfully installed
directly to the caller, without again going through a load-acquire.
Fixes: QTBUG-59164
