Fix lock handling in memory hander of nscd.
The commit 20e498bd removes the pthread_mutex_rdlock() calls, but not the
corresponding pthread_mutex_unlock() calls. Also, the database lock is never
unlocked in one branch of the mempool_alloc() if.

I think unreproducible random assert(dh->usable) crashes in prune_cache() were
caused by this. But an easy way to make nscd threads hang with the broken
locking was.
