[Gc] GC_get_bytes_since_gc locks

[Juan Jose Garcia-Ripoll]

Formerly this function was very simple could be called from a routine that
marks or that perform some task before or after garbage collection (one of
the hooks). Now this is not the case. A useless lock has been inserted in a
function that all it does is read a C variable. Really, is this necessary?

GC_API size_t GC_CALL GC_get_bytes_since_gc(void)
{
    size_t value;
    DCL_LOCK_STATE;
    LOCK();
    value = GC_bytes_allocd;
    UNLOCK();
    return value;
}
