mnesia: Avoid deadlock possibility in mnesia:del_table_copy schema
del_table_copy grabs a write lock in a new process in prepare_op/3 to change 'where_to_read' when a table copy is updated. When del_table_copy(schema, Node) is called all copies located on Node are deleted, and thus many locks are taken. Since this was done outside of the schema-transaction, mnesia's deadlock prevention algorithms was sidestepped and a deadlock could occur. Fix by always grabbing write-locks for all changed tabs early and in the same transaction, this might slow done the operation some but it must be done and it also cleans up the code.
