File fixrace.patch of Package intltool

From: Bernhard M. Wiedemann <bmwiedemann+intltool@suse.de>

avoid a race where some processes try to use a partial cache file
that is still being written to.
Note that we release the lock before load_cache,
because if we got the lock, the cache is already completely written
and it is OK to have multiple parallel readers
