Fix race condition in QFactoryLoader: lock the mutex we already have

The process of loading a plugin is examplified by the qLoadPlugin
function (though not all users of QFactoryLoader use this function, they
all do something similar):

    const int index = loader->indexOf(key);
    if (index != -1) {
        QObject *factoryObject = loader->instance(index);
        if (FactoryInterface *factory = qobject_cast<FactoryInterface *>(factoryObject))
            if (PluginInterface *result = factory->create(key, std::forward<Args>(args)...))
                return result;
    }

QFactoryLoader::indexOf already locked the mutex, but not
QFactoryLoader::instance. This commit fixes that.

Note that calling the virtual create() in the plugin's factory is not
protected by the mutex. Each plugin's factory must be thread-safe and
also create an object that works on any thread too. It's also the
responsibility of the caller of qLoadPlugin to ensure that it's called
thread-safely.
