backtrace: avoid undefined behaviour on re-initialisation

cb_buf_mutex is statically initialised, so we can not destroy it when
we are shutting down the err subsystem. If we destroy it, and then
re-initialise tor, all our backtraces will fail.

Part of 31736, but committed in this branch to avoid merge conflicts.
