// fingerprintLocker allows locking individual fingerprints. To limit the number
// of mutexes needed for that, only a fixed number of mutexes are
// allocated. Fingerprints to be locked are assigned to those pre-allocated
// mutexes by their value. (Note that fingerprints are calculated by a hash
// function, so that an approximately equal distribution over the mutexes is
// expected, even without additional hashing of the fingerprint value.)
// Collisions are not detected. If two fingerprints get assigned to the same
// mutex, only one of them can be locked at the same time. As long as the number
// of pre-allocated mutexes is much larger than the number of goroutines
// requiring a fingerprint lock concurrently, the loss in efficiency is
// small. However, a goroutine must never lock more than one fingerprint at the
// same time. (In that case a collision would try to acquire the same mutex
// twice).
