This rev. removes a deadlock situation that could *theoretically*
occur, but that was actually hard to reach in practice.
Before saving a record (e.g. in a form view), all field widgets
are asked to commit their value (in case they wouldn't have
notified the model yet, e.g. because the user just changed them).
For instance, let's assume that the user fills an input field, and
then triggers the save. In practice, by triggering the save, it
will force the widget to notify the model of its new value (because
it looses the focus). This is also the case using keyboard
navigation, as it actually simulates clicks. So when the widget is
asked to commit its value right after, it has nothing more to
commit.
This is fortunate, because if it actually had something to commit,
we would end up in a deadlock ('commitChanges' is executed in a
mutex, and if the widget triggers a new value, '_applyChange' is
called, and is executed in that mutex as well). In fact, executing
'commitChanges' in a mutex is useless, as '_applyChange', which is
called when a widget has something to commit, is already executed
in the mutex.
So this rev. removes the use of the mutex in 'commitChanges'.
Doing so broke several Many2One tests, because they wrongly relied
on the presence of the mutex for scenarios where the user quick
creates a relational record, and then directly saves (before the
relational record is actually created). We thus handled that
usecase properly to make the tests pass.
