The `LockedBy::access` method only requires a shared reference to the owner, so if we have shared access to the `LockedBy` from several threads at once, then two threads could call `access` in parallel and both obtain a shared reference to the inner value. Thus, require that `T: Sync` when calling the `access` method.
An alternative is to require `T: Sync` in the `impl Sync for LockedBy`. This patch does not choose that approach as it gives up the ability to use `LockedBy` with `!Sync` types, which is okay as long as you only use `access_mut`.

Applied to `rust-fixes` with Boqun's Suggested-by -- thanks!
