  If linked-list of tcache contains a loop, it invokes infinite
loop in _int_free when freeing tcache. The PoC which invokes
such infinite loop is on the Bugzilla(#27052). This loop
should terminate when the loop exceeds mp_.tcache_count and
the program should abort. The affected glibc version is
2.29 or later.
