Comment:

 Fix deadlock in Linux firewire threads.

 Fixes #9656

 The deadlock was caused by a shared synchronization lock which was being
 held by the main thread while waiting for the child thread to die, but the
 child thread also uses that lock.  I put back in the lock looping code
 that
 seemed unnecessary, but obviously was.
