Brian Goff 1a5bee6025 Fix potential races in the volume store
Uses finer grained locking so that each volume name gets its own lock
rather than only being protected by the global lock, which itself needs
to be unlocked during cetain operations (`create` especially`)

/*
Package locker provides a mechanism for creating finer-grained locking to help
free up more global locks to handle other tasks.
The implementation looks close to a sync.Mutex, however the user must provide a
reference to use to refer to the underlying lock when locking and unlocking,
and unlock may generate an error.
If a lock with a given name does not exist when `Lock` is called, one is
created.
Lock references are automatically cleaned up on `Unlock` if nothing else is
waiting for the lock.
