The locking here needs to be laid out.  It looks like union_get() needs
to be called under union_lock(), while union_get2() (horrible name)
grabs that lock itself, and returns with the lock held?

Similarly union_put clearly needs to be called under union_lock(), so
that should be commented here.

Is it safe to do this - releasing the lock before doing the put?
