Done.

Without #ifdef, you cannot build CTDB with system tdb if it is older than
1.3.0.  So I have kept #ifdef TDB_MUTEX_LOCKING.

The option --disable-tdb-mutex-locking only works if you are building tdb
library.  If you are using system tdb library to build CTDB,
--disable-tdb-mutex-locking does not do anything.  There should be a
warning if --disable-tdb-mutex-locking is used and building_tdb is false.

Modified patches are attached. Please review and push if ok.
