Don't use apr_global_mutex to guard storage backend initialisation
Commit 2c538916be4f8dff28181ea5a47d65d84b4b2a03 introduced locking around memory allocation for an array containing pointers to the storage backends, as apache's memory pool functions aren't thread safe. It used apr_global_mutex, but I think apr_global_mutex not only synchronizes between threads, but also between process which isn't necessary for the storage backend memory allocation. Instead presumably apr_thread_mutex is what we want.
I need to verify this before committing the change, hence this reminder ticket.
