// RunWhileLocked wraps the given Callback in a new Callback that, when invoked:
//  1) Locks the ProxyLock.
//  2) Runs the original Callback (forwarding arguments, if any).
//  3) Clears the original Callback (while the lock is held).
//  4) Unlocks the ProxyLock.
// Note that it's important that the callback is cleared in step (3), in case
// clearing the Callback causes a destructor (e.g., for a Resource) to run,
// which should hold the ProxyLock to avoid data races.
//
// This is for cases where you want to run a task or store a Callback, but you
// want to ensure that the ProxyLock is acquired for the duration of the task
// that the Callback runs.
// EXAMPLE USAGE:
//   GetMainThreadMessageLoop()->PostDelayedTask(
//     FROM_HERE,
//     RunWhileLocked(base::Bind(&CallbackWrapper, callback, result)),
//     delay_in_ms);
//
// In normal usage like the above, this all should "just work". However, if you
// do something unusual, you may get a runtime crash due to deadlock. Here are
// the ways that the returned Callback must be used to avoid a deadlock:
// (1) copied to another Callback. After that, the original callback can be
// destroyed with or without the proxy lock acquired, while the newly assigned
// callback has to conform to these same restrictions. Or
// (2) run without proxy lock acquired (e.g., being posted to a MessageLoop
// and run there). The callback must be destroyed on the same thread where it
// was run (but can be destroyed with or without the proxy lock acquired). Or
// (3) destroyed without the proxy lock acquired.

  // {
  //   base::Callback<void ()> local_callback = base::Bind(&Foo);
  //   some_task_runner.PostTask(FROM_HERE, RunWhileLocked(local_callback));

  // In this case, since we don't have a lock synchronizing us, it's possible

  // callback is refcounted and shared between all copies of the callback. So
