Fix nesting tdb_traverse in a transaction
Calling tdb_traverse inside a transaction led to the transaction lock being held indefinitely. This was caused by the tdb_transaction_lock/unlock inside tdb_traverse: The transaction code holds the global lock at offset TRANSACTION_LOCK. The call to tdb_transaction_lock does nothing because the transaction_lock is already being held. tdb_transaction_unlock inside tdb_wrap resets tdb->have_transaction_lock but does not release the kernel-level fcntl lock. transaction_commit later on does not release that fcntl lock either, because tdb->have_transaction_lock was already reset by tdb_transaction(). This patch does fix that problem for me. An alternative would be to make tdb->have_transaction_lock a counter that can cope with proper nesting, maybe in other places as well.
