grep: replace grep_read_mutex by internal obj read lock
git-grep uses 'grep_read_mutex' to protect its calls to object reading operations. But these have their own internal lock now, which ensures a better performance (allowing parallel access to more regions). So, let's remove the former and, instead, activate the latter with enable_obj_read_lock(). Sections that are currently protected by 'grep_read_mutex' but are not internally protected by the object reading lock should be surrounded by obj_read_lock() and obj_read_unlock(). These guarantee mutual exclusion with object reading operations, keeping the current behavior and avoiding race conditions. Namely, these places are: In grep.c: - fill_textconv() at fill_textconv_grep(). - userdiff_get_textconv() at grep_source_1(). In builtin/grep.c: - parse_object_or_die() and the submodule functions at grep_submodule(). - deref_tag() and gitmodules_config_oid() at grep_objects(). If these functions become thread-safe, in the future, we might remove the locking and probably get some speedup. Note that some of the submodule functions will already be thread-safe (or close to being thread-safe) with the internal object reading lock. However, as some of them will require additional modifications to be removed from the critical section, this will be done in its own patch.
