[analyzer] Add a checker that detects blocks in critical sections
This checker should find the calls to blocking functions (for example: sleep, getc, fgets,read,recv etc.) inside a critical section. When sleep(x) is called while a mutex is held, other threads cannot lock the same mutex. This might take some time, leading to bad performance or even deadlock. Example: mutex_t m; void f() { sleep(1000); // Error: sleep() while m is locked! [f() is called from foobar() while m is locked] // do some work } void foobar() { lock(m); f(); unlock(m); } A patch by zdtorok (Zoltán Dániel Török)!
