+    Serialize BDB environment open/close (RhBug:924417 etc)
+    
+    - Introduce Yet Another Broken Lock[*] to serialize BDB environment open:
+      otherwise we can end up calling dbenv->failchk() while another process
+      is just joining the environment, leading to transient "Thread died in..."
+      DB_RUNRECOVER errors. Also prevents races on chrooted operations where
+      we remove the entire environment on close.
+    - This should also make it possible to handle at least some cases of
+      real DB_RUNRECOVER errors by just nuking the environment but that's
+      another topic...
+    
+      [*] YABL as this is nowhere near foolproof or sufficient for all
+          the possible variants, but better than not having it...
+    (cherry picked from commit ad874d60e3804f1bcd64f3510e1e2dfbf81456cd)
