Fix a data race between GetColumnFamilyMetaData and MarkFilesBeingCompacted (#6056)
 
Summary:
Use db mutex to protect the execution of Version::GetColumnFamilyMetaData()
called in DBImpl::GetColumnFamilyMetaData().
Without mutex, GetColumnFamilyMetaData() races with MarkFilesBeingCompacted()
for access to FileMetaData::being_compacted.
Other than mutex, there are several more alternatives.

- Make FileMetaData::being_compacted an atomic variable. This will make
  FileMetaData non-copy-able.

- Separate being_compacted from FileMetaData. This requires re-organizing data
  structures that are already used in many places.

Test Plan (dev server):
```
make check
```

RocksDB is developed and maintained by Facebook Database Engineering Team.
It is built on earlier work on [LevelDB](https://github.com/google/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.

Start with example usage here: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/tree/master/examples

See the [github wiki](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/wiki) for more explanation.

The public interface is in `include/`.  Callers should not include or
rely on the details of any other header files in this package.  Those
internal APIs may be changed without warning.

Design discussions are conducted in https://www.facebook.com/groups/rocksdb.dev/
