Any call to dirty bitmap functions between bdrv_clear_dirty_bitmap and
bdrv_undo_clear_dirty_bitmap is problematic anyway, so
bdrv_clear_dirty_bitmap really only needs the lock in the !out case;
bdrv_undo_clear_dirty_bitmap is only called when out != NULL.

However, I agree it would be cleaner to add the lock there, too.
