locktorture: With nested locks, occasionally skip main lock
If we're using nested locking to stress things, occasionally
skip taking the main lock, so that we can get some different
contention patterns between the writers (to hopefully get two
disjoint blocked trees)
This patch was inspired by earlier work by Connor O'Brien.
