A clean way to detect if a ldap_pvt_thread_mutex is locked (best would be also to know who's the owner of the lock :)

["Pierangelo Masarati" <ando@sys-net.it>]

I fear yet more few minor concurrency issues in libldap; I'd like to be
able to assert if a mutex is locked from inside library functions, and it
would be great to also know who's locking it.  What I'd do is

#define ISLOCKED(m) \
        ( ldap_pvt_mutex_trylock( (m) ) ? 1 \
                : ( ldap_pvt_mutex_unlock( (m) ), 0 ) )

Comments?
