OS X kernel use-after-free due to bad locking in IOAcceleratorFamily2. Lock doesn't protect two threads racing which leads to memory corruption

Code
/*
Source: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/detail?id=772

In IOAccelContext2::clientMemoryForType the lock_busy/unlock_busy should be extended to cover all the code
setting up shared memory type 2.

At the moment the lock doesn't protect two threads racing where one reaches
the release at +0x56AD (outside the lock) while the other is still using those raw pages via the raw pointer at
IOAccelContext+0x610 inside the locked region.

Tested on OS X 10.11.4 (15E65) on MacBookAir 5,2
