Use a write lock during ossl_provider_find()

A "find" operation on a stack can end up sorting the underlying stack. In
this case it is necessary to use a "write" lock to synchronise access to
the stack across multiple threads.

the order of elements in I<sk> can change. Note that because the stack may be
sorted as the result of a B<sk_I<TYPE>_find>() call, if a lock is being used to
synchronise access to the stack across multiple threads, then that lock must be

B<sk_I<TYPE>_find_ex>() operates like B<sk_I<TYPE>_find>() except when a
comparison function has been specified and no matching element is found.
