Add locks around the inventory put to prevent inventory
corruption.

Similar questions here; it says it's thread-safe, but apparently
not.  But why not?  what happens?  Is there a testcase?

This was reported by a customer, no test case, so we used the customers data to verify the fix. Failed every time the customer performed a 20 stream dump/restore and with single stream. Single stream would fail rarley with a different error. Two storage object files were corrupted, causing xfsinvutil -C to crash. As it is customer data we could not supply it as a test case.

Customer runs fine now with this patch,

  The corrupted files seem to have struct inv_mediafile or maybe struct
inv_stream overwriting the header of the file, and both seem to include media files from multi stream dumps. 83ab1189-b1a7-4733-bfd6-aa8a4feb188e.StObj has a good header that looks like it was written over a struct inv_stream... I suspect we're looking at some kind of locking issue with multistream xfsdump
  adding stream entries to this file in the inventory.


(you guys probably have longer history in ptools, maybe you
can see what if anything changed since the original comment
was added - or maybe when it was added, etc?)

Looks like it was added as the IRIX original commit
dump_content.c.p_cat:

cbullis |1.1 | | /* already thread-safe, don't need to lock
cbullis   |1.1  |                            |			 */



Thanks,
