Release shared lock before acquiring exclusive lock

Browse source 
In principle, this should avoid deadlocks where two instances of Nix are
holding a shared lock on big-lock and are both waiting to get an
exclusive lock.

However, it seems like `flock(2)` is supposed to do this automatically,
so it's not clear whether this is actually where the problem comes from.
