What does this PR do?:
Adds a fail-safe when we encounter double-exit from crash handler.

Motivation:
This seems to happen sometimes in relation to longjmp. Since the crash signal handler is using depth tracking to avoid stack overflow, having this depth corrupted by double-exit may cause not intercepting and sigsegs at all.
This was witnessed in CI when cca. 1 in 4 runs quite reliable crashed in SafeAccess::load call.

With this particular patch applied no crash is observed in a series of 7 subsequent runs so this all looks like a valid hypothesis.

Additional Notes:
If a crash in SafeAccess::load is observed even with this patch applied then the safest course of action is to revert this PR and then #134

For Datadog employees:

  • If this PR touches code that signs or publishes builds or packages, or handles
    credentials of any kind, I've requested a review from @DataDog/security-design-and-guidance.
  • This PR doesn't touch any of that.
  • JIRA: PROF-10605

I'm OK to try this. LGTM
However I am not sure why this would be occurring.
I did add a note in previous PR on possible extra thread fencing.
