Reduce lock contention in __tz_convert() [BZ #16145] (partial fix)
This patch is an "easy win" partial fix for BZ #16145, which notes the heavy contention on tzset_lock when multiple threads are converting times with localtime_r(). In __tz_convert(), the lock does not need to be held after __tzfile_compute() / __tz_compute() have been called, so we can move the unlock up. At this point there is still significant work to be done in __offtime(), so we see some improvement (in my testing with 8 cores banging on localtime_r(), ~20% improvement in throughput).
