Reference ticket in the commit message is wrong - I think you wanted to
reference ticket 1635.

This all looks good. But I was thinking - why don't we use the locking
interface from slapi-plugin.h? I mean slapi_new_rwlock(),
slapi_rwlock_rdlock etc. implemented in BZ 730387. It would let us
abstract from underlying locking details (pthread versus NSPR) and just
use the slapi plugin interface + save possible changes to locking
mechanism in the future.
