git-grep uses an internal grep_read_mutex to protect object reading
operations. Similarly, there's a grep_attr_mutex to protect calls to the
gitattributes machinery. However, two of the three functions protected
by the last mutex may also perform object reading, as seen below:
As these calls are not protected by grep_read_mutex, there might be race
conditions with other threads performing object reading (e.g. threads
calling fill_textconv() at grep.c:fill_textconv_grep()). To prevent
that, let's make sure to acquire the lock before both of these calls.
Note: this patch might slow down the threaded grep in worktree, for the
sake of thread-safeness. However, in the following patches, we should
regain performance by replacing grep_read_mutex for an internal object
reading lock and allowing parallel inflation during object reading.
