Description: If ldbm_back_seq is called as a child of transaction, it
fails to access the on-going transaction data. This patch picks up
the parent transaction if any, and it calls dblayer_read_txn_begin with
the parent transaction. If the read transaction is aborted by DEADLOCK,
it retries.

Reviewed by Mark (Thank you!!)

Pushed to master:
dde9abe..a037d1c master -> master
commit a037d1c

The commit is being done too early, this can cause a dead lock in the changelog db. Working on a new patch...

Thanks for fixing the bug, Mark!

I have one concern...
Now, dblayer_read_txn_commit is called with this condition (line 323).
{{{
322 / if success finally commit the transaction /
323 if (return_value == 0 && txn.back_txn_txn) {
324 dblayer_read_txn_commit(be, &txn);
325 }
}}}
The abort is called with this condition.
{{{
238 238 if ((0 == return_value) || (DB_NOTFOUND == return_value)) {
...
267 } else {
268 if (txn.back_txn_txn) {
269 dblayer_read_txn_abort(be, &txn);
270 }
}}}
When return_value is DB_NOTFOUND, both dblayer_read_txn_commit and dblayer_read_txn_abort are not called and the transaction might be leaked?
