autofs-5.0.7 - fix crash due to thread unsafe use of libldap

From: Leonardo Chiquitto <leonardo.lists@gmail.com>

Add locking around LDAP initialization calls

To prevent corruption inside SSL and LDAP libraries, it's necessary to
serialize all calls to functions that initialize LDAP contexts.

How to reproduce the problem:

- Setup an LDAP server with SSL/TLS support enabled
- Configure AutoFS to fetch the maps from LDAP
- Make sure the OpenLDAP client library is configured to use SSL
  connections and "usetls" is set to yes in autofs_ldap_auth.conf.

In one directory handled by AutoFS (an indirect mount point), trigger in
parallel some dozens of invalid mounts (ie, try to access keys that do not
exist in the AutoFS map). Repeat until it crashes.

Here it always crashes in less than 20 minutes, normally inside OpenSSL.
Core dump inspection shows that internal SSL structures are corrupted,
with function pointers pointing to random addresses.

Trying to find similar reports on the web, I found this email from an
OpenLDAP developer (partial quote, emphasis mine) [1]:

"As far as I know, libldap is thread safe in the sense that multiple
threads can use separate LDAP* handles without running into concurrency
issues; *except for library initialization*, all accesses to common data
(i.e. global variables) is read-only."

[1]http://www.openldap.org/cgi-bin/wilma_hiliter/openldap-software/200606/msg00252.html

AutoFS implements no locking around LDAP initialization libraries and
it's quite common to see multiple threads executing ldap_initialize()
or ldap_start_tls_s() at the same time.
