Fix a match-spec trace bug that could cause emulator crash
A trace matchspec with 'enable_trace' or 'disable_trace' in body could cause an emulator crash if a concurrent process altered the trace setting of the traced function by calling erlang:trace_pattern. The effect was a deallocation of the binary holding the matchspec program while it was running. Fixed by increasing reference count of ms-binary in the cases when 'enable_trace' or 'disable_trace' may cause a system block that may alter the ongoing trace. The paradox here is that db_prog_match() is using erts_smp_block_system() to do 'enable_trace' and 'disable_trace' in a safe (atomic) way. But that also have the (non-atomic) effect that racing thread might block the system and change the trace settings with erlang:trace_pattern.
