I'm pretty sure that the global_bindings is only ever accessed with the
vecs lock held, so it doesn't really need it's own lock. On the
otherhand, I understand the desire to not keep adding things that the
vecs lock is protecting, so I'm fine with this.

However, if we are acting like the vecs lock isn't protecting
global_bindings, then we should move this to inside the bindings mutex
below. Otherwise, if it was possible for another thread to modify
global_bindings after setting old_bindings but before grabbing the
mutex, it could add a binding, making old_binding->allocated and
old_binding->slot incorrect, so we'd be freeing random memory below.

I'm not sure if we should assert that the file has changed if we can't stat() it.

Isn't there a race where we rename the file and then update the
timestamp. If we respond to the inotify event between when we rename
and when we lock the timestamp_mutex, we will trigger a reread based on
our own changes. Perhaps we should set the timestamp before renaming
the file. If the rename fails, it's not clear what we want to do anyway,
since we have bindings that didn't make it into the file, and if we
reread the file, we lose them.

Don't we want to call read_bindings_file() here as well?

I don't think _read_bindings_file() can return a value other than 0 or
-1, and we already know it didn't return 0 here.
