Replaced log locking using mutex with fcntl lock

Browse Source 
When reloading Nginx, there is a race condition which is visible under high
load. As the logging mutex is shared between multiple workers, when a worker
is sent a stop signal during a reload, and the log mutex is held, write()
will never return, which means that the mutex will never unlock. As other
workers share this mutex, they will deadlock.

fcntl does not suffer from this issue.
