Subject: [PATCH] gssd: use mutex to protect decrement of refcount

The decrement of the "ple" refcount is not protected so it can race with
increments or decrements from other threads.  An increment could be lost
and then the ple would be freed early, leading to memory corruption.

So use the mutex to protect decrements (increments are already
protected).

[Following applies upstream, but not to SLE15
As gssd_destroy_krb5_principals() calls release_ple() while holding the
mutex, we need a "release_pte_locked()" which doesn't take the mutex.
