runtime: unlock sched lock when checkdead throws due to a deadlock

I was doing some testing with GODEBUG=schedtrace=1,scheddetail=1 and I
noticed that the program hung after a throw with "all goroutines are
asleep". This is because when doing a throw or fatal panic with schedtrace
the panic code does a final schedtrace, which needs to acquire the
scheduler lock. The checkdead function is always called with the scheduler
lock held. So checkdead would throw with the scheduler lock held, then
the panic code would call schedtrace, which would block trying to acquire
the scheduler lock.

This problem will only happen for people debugging the runtime, but
it's easy to avoid by having checkdead unlock the scheduler lock before
it throws. I only did this for the throws that can happen for a normal
program, not for throws that indicate some corruption in the scheduler data.
