lp:910817: Race condition in kill_threads_for_user()

The code was accessing a pointer in a mem_root that might be freed by
another concurrent thread. Fix by moving the access to be done while the
LOCK_thd_data is held, preventing the memory from being freed too early.

Careful here: The list nodes are allocated on the memroots of the

But those THDs may be terminated and deleted as soon as we release
LOCK_thd_data, which will make the list nodes invalid.
Since the operation "it++" dereferences the "next" pointer of the
previous list node, we need to do this while holding LOCK_thd_data.
