BUG: Remove data race in mtrand: two threads could mutate the state.
E.g.:
np.random.random_sample() uses the GIL for synchronization
np.random.random_sample(1) releases the GIL and uses a separate lock.
This means that both can run simultaneously, causing a data race when mutating
the random number generator's state, which could lead to buffer overflow (from
incrementing state->pos).
The fix here is to always use the separate lock, so that exactly one thread at
a time is mutating the random number generator's state.
