[PATCH v3 03/12] grep: fix racy calls in grep_objects()

[Matheus Tavares <matheus.bernardino@usp.br>]

deref_tag() calls is_promisor_object() and parse_object(), both of which
perform lazy initializations and other thread-unsafe operations. If it
was only called by grep_objects() this wouldn't be a problem as the
latter is only executed by the main thread. However, deref_tag() is also
present in read_object_file()'s call stack. So calling deref_tag() in
grep_objects() without acquiring the grep_read_mutex may incur in a race
condition with object reading operations (such as the ones internally
performed by fill_textconv(), called at fill_textconv_grep()). The same
problem happens with the call to gitmodules_config_oid() which also has
parse_object() in its call stack. Fix that protecting both calls with
the said grep_read_mutex.
