Stop nesting the calls?:

```ruby
around do                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
  MUTEX.synchronize do                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
    # don't call around here                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
  end

Hi,

I was investigating an issue with the climate_control gem and minitest-around and it seems like the bug is coming from Ruby:

```ruby
def around(&block)
  Fiber.new do |context, resume|
    context.instance_exec(resume, &block)
  end.resume
end

MUTEX = Mutex.new

around do
  MUTEX.synchronize do
    around do
      MUTEX.synchronize do
      end
    end
  end
end
```

```
test.rb:12:in `synchronize': No live threads left. Deadlock? (fatal)
1 threads, 1 sleeps current:0x0000000126804080 main thread:0x0000000126804080
* #<Thread:0x00000001043b8d50 sleep_forever>
   rb_thread_t:0x0000000126804080 native:0x0000000104330580 int:0
   
	from test.rb:12:in `block (3 levels) in <main>'
	from test.rb:3:in `instance_exec'
	from test.rb:3:in `block in around'
```
