grep: Fix race condition in delta_base_cache
When running large git grep (ie: git grep regexp $(git rev-list --all)), glibc error sometimes occur: *** glibc detected *** git: double free or corruption (!prev): 0x00000000010abdf0 *** According to gdb the problem originate from release_delta_cash (sha1_file.c:1703) free(ent->data); >From my analysis it seems that git grep threads do acquire lock before calling read_sha1_file but not before calling read_object_with_reference who ends up calling read_sha1_file too. Adding the lock around read_object_with_reference seems to fix the issue for me. I've ran git grep about a dozen time and seen no more error while it usually happened half the time before.
