Summary:
The bad code was:
```
mutex.Lock(); // `mutex` protects `container`
for (auto& x : container) {
mutex.Unlock();
// do stuff to x
mutex.Lock();
}
```
It's incorrect because both `x` and the iterator may become invalid if another thread modifies the container while this thread is not holding the mutex.
Broken by https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/5796 - it replaced a `while (!container.empty())` loop with a `for (auto x : container)`.
(RocksDB code does a lot of such unlocking+re-locking of mutexes, and this type of bugs comes up a lot :/ )
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/6193
Test Plan: Ran some logdevice integration tests that were crashing without this fix.

RocksDB: A Persistent Key-Value Store for Flash and RAM Storage
RocksDB is developed and maintained by Facebook Database Engineering Team. It is built on earlier work on LevelDB by Sanjay Ghemawat (sanjay@google.com) and Jeff Dean (jeff@google.com)
This code is a library that forms the core building block for a fast key-value server, especially suited for storing data on flash drives. It has a Log-Structured-Merge-Database (LSM) design with flexible tradeoffs between Write-Amplification-Factor (WAF), Read-Amplification-Factor (RAF) and Space-Amplification-Factor (SAF). It has multi-threaded compactions, making it especially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a single database.
