pack-objects: take lock before accessing remaining

When checking the conditional of "while (me->remaining)", we did not
hold the lock. Calling find_deltas would still be safe, since it checks
"remaining" (after taking the lock) and is able to handle all values. In
fact, this could (currently) not trigger any bug: a bug could happen if
`remaining` transitioning from zero to non-zero races with the evaluation
of the while-condition, but these are always separated by the
data_ready-mechanism.

Make sure we have the lock when we read `remaining`. This does mean we
release it just so that find_deltas can take it immediately again. We
could tweak the contract so that the lock should be taken before calling
find_deltas, but let's defer that until someone can actually show that
"unlock+lock" has a measurable negative impact.
