Summary:
The cyclic dependency was:
- `StressTest::OperateDb()` locks the mutex for key 'k'
- `StressTest::OperateDb()` calls a function like `PauseBackgroundWork()`, which waits for pending compaction to complete.
- The pending compaction reaches key `k` and `DbStressCompactionFilter::FilterV2()` calls `Lock()` on that key's mutex, which hangs forever.
The cycle can be broken by using a new function, `port::Mutex::TryLock()`, which returns immediately upon failure to acquire a lock. In that case `DbStressCompactionFilter::FilterV2()` can just decide to keep the key.
