Fix lock inconsistency in ctx_unlock()
The lock inconsistency fixed here is quite possibly the same as
described in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=586032 .
The problem is that ctx_unlock() fails to unlock the principal DB if
it fails to unlock the policy DB, and this happens when ctx_lock()
fails to lock the policy DB (likely because the caller is racing
against a kdb5_util load, which will be using a "permanent" lock,
meaning that the lock file will be unlinked after acquiring the
lock). The fix is to perform both unlock operations *then* handle
any errors that either or both might have returned.
(cherry picked from commit 29ee39baa919361ae08e26caab896890d5cb3eb4)
