[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup] sync: switch reader back to a shared lock

the below commit accidentally switched this lock to an exclusive lock
when it should just be a shared one as that is sufficient for a
reader:

e2c1866b: datastore/api/backup: prepare for fix of #3935 by adding
lock helpers

this has already caused failed backups for a user with a sync job that
runs while they are trying to create a new backup.

this also explains the issue we have seen on an internal pbs host.
