Aleksand Malikov 1a821390d1 fix race condition in List_insert
Revert mx parameter and mutex lock while operating the list.
Mutex was removed with 94d24160 informing that:
'Use InterlockedCompareExchangePointer to ensure race safeness
without using a mutex.'

But it does not.

Calling pthread_mutex_init and pthread_mutex_destroy from two or
more threads occasionally leads to hang in pthread_mutex_destroy.

To not change the behaviour of other cases where List_insert was called,
List_insert_nolock is added.
