Description

URL alias updates can hang indefinitely waiting for a lock because they call write_config() with a config lock held. It then gets stuck in write_config() because it can't lock the config to write it.

I'm not 100% sure if this is the complete proper fix, but it works - line 1885 in pfsense-utils.inc RELENG_2_1, unlock($lockkey), move that up to line 1883 just above the "if ($updated)", and it works fine.

The same code exists (with diff line numbers) in master as well so I presume the issue is the same there, though I haven't tried on anything but 2.1.x.
