Proposed patch.

A very ugly patch to handle this deadlock, but I don't see a reasonably simple
solution to the problem.  The issue is that we need the loader lock to allocate
the OTIs, which is a very short operation, but we need the templates lock for
much more complex stuff during which we allocate need to allocate OTIs.  So I'm
taking the loader lock prior to the templates lock, i.e. it's held for much
longer than what it's actually used for.  On the positive side all of this only
happens during JITting.
