      Description

      It is illegal to acquire new locks while holding open an oplog slot, since it can cause the deadlock described in SERVER-35367. We do this in a few places when writing transaction oplog entries:

      When preparing a transaction, we reserve oplog slots here or here, then stash the locker here or here, then take a global lock here or here.

      When aborting a prepared transaction, we reserve an oplog slot here, then release locks here, then take a global lock here.

      When committing a prepared transaction, we reserve an oplog slot here, then release locks here, then take a global lock here.

      (Note that the global lock acquisition for writing oplog entries for unprepared transaction commit is not a problem, since the locker is already holding the global lock.)
