[1.30 beta] Test suite of the jemalloc-ctl crate is failing

[emilyalbini]

This is not a spurious failure (the test output is consistent between runs), but we need to investigate why this is happening.

• jemalloc-ctl 0.2.0 regressed from stable to beta (build log) cc @sfackler

[sfackler]

Those errors seem to imply that global allocator registration may have broken?

[sfackler]

It seems like it may specifically be a problem with rustdoc tests - a normal library test passes as expected.

Bisection over nightly builds indicates that bug was injected between nightly-2018-08-06-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu (73c7873) and nightly-2018-08-14-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu (d5a448b).

In the details block are the bors commits from that range:

[pnkfelix]

Okay I bisected this and identified the bug as being injected by #52993

[pnkfelix]

Adding @alexcrichton to the assignee list in case they have some special insight into how best to address it. (But, as I noted on #52993, I am hoping we can get away with just undoing one small part of that PR, rather than backing out the whole thing, which seems like it might cause more trouble than it would resolve)
