tdb: Make tdb robust against improper CLEAR_IF_FIRST restart

When winbind is restarted, there is a potential crash in tdb. Following
situation: We are in a cluster with ctdb. A winbind child hangs
in a request to the DC. Cluster monitoring decides the node has a
problem. Cluster monitoring decides to kill ctdbd. winbind child
still hangs in a RPC request. winbind parent figures that ctdb is
dead and immediately commits suicide. winbind parent is restarted by
cluster management, overwriting gencache.tdb with CLEAR_IF_FIRST. The
CLEAR_IF_FIRST logic as implemented now will not see that a child still
has the tdb open, only the parent holds the ACTIVE_LOCK due to performance
reasons. During the CLEAR_IF_FIRST logic is done, there is a very small
window where we ftruncate(tfd, 0) the file and re-write a proper header
without a lock. When during this small window the winbind child comes
back, wanting to store something into gencache.tdb, that winbind child
will crash with a SIGBUS.

Sounds unlikely? See:

This is in a winbind child, logfiles surrounding indicate the parent
was restarted.

This patch takes all chain locks around the CLEAR_IF_FIRST introduced
tdb_new_database.
