Thanks. What about this patch?

wcsmbs: Fix data race in __wcsmbs_clone_conv [BZ #24584]
This also adds an overflow check and documents the synchronization
requirement in <gconv.h>.
2019-05-20 Florian Weimer <fweimer@redhat.com>
[BZ #24584]
* wcsmbs/wcsmbsload.c (__wcsmbs_clone_conv): Acquire __gconv_lock
before updating __counter field and release it afterwards. Add
overflow check.
* iconv/gconv.h (struct __gconv_step): Mention synchronization
requirement for __counter member.
