Synchronize the interposer’s function pointers.

Concurrent dlsym calls can race while resolve_real_dlsym() initializes real_dlsym_fn. The fallback lookup and vaMapBuffer2 shim also access real_vaMapBuffer_fn without synchronization. These races are undefined behavior, even when both threads write the same value. Synchronize all accesses to both pointers.

Review comment at @electron/native/pipewire-capture/csrc/ffmpeg_accessors.c
around lines 83 - 95:
Synchronize every read and write of real_dlsym_fn and real_vaMapBuffer_fn in the
dlsym interposer, including initialization in resolve_real_dlsym(), fallback
lookup, and vaMapBuffer2 shim access. Use synchronization that safely publishes
initialized pointers to concurrent callers, while avoiding unsynchronized access
or holding a lock across operations that could re-enter the interposer.
