grep: replace grep_read_mutex by internal obj read lock 

git-grep uses 'grep_read_mutex' to protect its calls to object reading
operations. But these have their own internal lock now, which ensures a
better performance (allowing parallel access to more regions). So, let's
remove the former and, instead, activate the latter with
enable_obj_read_lock().

Sections that are currently protected by 'grep_read_mutex' but are not
internally protected by the object reading lock should be surrounded by
obj_read_lock() and obj_read_unlock(). These guarantee mutual exclusion
with object reading operations, keeping the current behavior and
avoiding race conditions. Namely, these places are:

  In grep.c:

  - fill_textconv() at fill_textconv_grep().
  - userdiff_get_textconv() at grep_source_1().

  In builtin/grep.c:

  - parse_object_or_die() and the submodule functions at
    grep_submodule().
  - deref_tag() and gitmodules_config_oid() at grep_objects().

If these functions become thread-safe, in the future, we might remove
the locking and probably get some speedup.

Note that some of the submodule functions will already be thread-safe
(or close to being thread-safe) with the internal object reading lock.
However, as some of them will require additional modifications to be
removed from the critical section, this will be done in its own patch.
