Prevent race condition while reading relmapper file.

Contrary to the comment here, POSIX does not guarantee atomicity of a
read(), if another process calls write() concurrently. Or at least Linux
does not. Add locking to load_relmap_file() to avoid the race condition.

Fixes bug #17064. Thanks to Alexander Lakhin for the report and test case.

Backpatch-through: 9.6, all supported versions.
