taskprocessor: Fix race condition between unreferencing and finding.

When unreferencing a taskprocessor its reference count is checked
to determine if it should be unlinked from the taskprocessors
container and its listener shut down. In between the time when the
reference count is checked and unlinking it is possible for
another thread to jump in, find it, and get a reference to it. If
the thread then uses the taskprocessor it may find that it is not
in the state it expects.

This change locks the taskprocessors container during almost the
entire unreference operation to ensure that any other thread which
may attempt to find the taskprocessor has to wait.
