- bugfix: problems in failover action handling

closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=254 - bugfix: mutex was invalidly left unlocked during action processing
At least one case where this can occur is during thread shutdown, which
may be initiated by lower activity. In most cases, this is quite
unlikely to happen. However, if it does, data structures may be
corrupted which could lead to fatal failure and segfault. I detected
this via a testbench test, not a user report. But I assume that some
users may have had unreproducible aborts that were cause by this bug.
