Prepare takes main_lock, which is held until the end of the transaction.
Commit takes repl_state lock (while holding on to main_lock from Prepare).
PeriodicSnapshot needs to fail for replicas, so must read repl_state. Bug: this lock is held for the duration of CreateSnapshot, which takes main_lock. This can lead to a deadlock.
Fix is to read repl_state and release the lock, then call CreateSnapshot.
Bug present from v3.1
