Remove extra lock-taking in preopen setup (#491)

Issue [#8392] in Wasmtime highlights how preopen registration can result
in a hang when compiled for a threaded environment. The problem is that
`internal_register_preopened_fd_unlocked` assumes it will not touch the
global lock because its caller, `__wasilibc_populate_preopens`, already
has taken the lock. Unfortunately, a refactoring in #408 (which
introduces `internal_register_preopened_fd_unlocked`) did not catch that
the `resize` function called internally also takes the global lock. This
change removes that locking in `resize` under the assumption that it
will only be called when the lock is already taken.
