Quiet writes to long properties can leave an allocation gap when the new value is shorter. Compact the arena after such writes and add a regression test for the 92-byte to 86-byte case.

Exclude readers while compacting the property area.
When set_quiet() shrinks an existing long value, it stores the unchanged serial before calling compact(). Compaction moves allocations and updates their offsets. read_value() accepts its result when the property serial is unchanged, so a concurrent reader can return an inconsistent value. PropArea permits shared access under a single-writer-only contract, which does not exclude readers. Run compaction only when readers are excluded, or synchronize relocation with readers.

Summary
Fix an allocation gap left behind when
set_quiet()overwrites an existinglong property with a shorter value.
Problem
Long property values are stored out-of-line in the property area.
When a quiet write replaces a long value with a shorter one, the new value
occupies less space, but the arena still retains the old allocation extent.
This leaves a detectable hole in the property area.
For example, this can be reproduced by replacing a 92-byte long property
value with an 86-byte value.
Fix
Track the previous long-value length and compact the property area when a
quiet long-value write shrinks the allocation.
This keeps the existing quiet-write serial semantics while removing the
unused gap.
Testing
Added a regression test covering a 92-byte to 86-byte quiet write.
The test verifies that:
compact()is a no-op.Also verified on a real Android device where the previous behavior was
reported by a raw property-area scanner as:
Found hole in prop area: u:object_r:fingerprint_prop:s0After this change, the warning is no longer reported.
