BUG/MEDIUM: lb/threads: always properly lock LB algorithms on maintenance operations
Since commit 3ff577e ("MAJOR: server: make server state changes
synchronous again"), srv_update_status() calls the various maintenance
operations of the LB algorithms (->set_server_up, ->set_server_down,
->update_server_weight()). These ones are called with a single thread
guaranteed by the rendez-vous point, so the fact that they're lacking
some locks has no effect. However we'll need to remove the rendez-vous
point so we have to take care of properly locking all the LB algos.
The comments have been properly updated on the various functions to
mention their locking expectations. All these functions are called
with the server lock held, and all of them now support concurrent
calls by using the lbprm's lock.
This fix doesn't need to be backported at the moment, though if any
check-specific issue surfaced in 1.8, it could make sense to reuse it.
