qt: lock cs_main, m_cached_tip_mutex in that order
Always lock the mutexes `cs_main` and `m_cached_tip_mutex` in the same order: `cs_main`, `m_cached_tip_mutex`. Otherwise we may end up in a deadlock. `ClientModel::m_cached_tip_blocks` is protected by `ClientModel::m_cached_tip_mutex`. There are two access paths that lock the two mutexes in opposite order: ``` validation.cpp:2868 CChainState::ActivateBestChain(): lock cs_main validation.cpp:2916 CChainState::ActivateBestChain(): call uiInterface.NotifyBlockTip() ui_interface.cpp:52 CClientUIInterface::NotifyBlockTip(): go deep in boost ... qt/clientmodel.cpp:255 BlockTipChanged(): lock m_cached_tip_mutex ``` and ``` qt/clientmodel.cpp:119 ClientModel::getBestBlockHash(): lock m_cached_tip_mutex qt/clientmodel.cpp:121 ClientModel::getBestBlockHash(): call m_node.getBestBlockHash() interfaces/node.cpp:200 NodeImpl::getBestBlockHash(): lock cs_main ``` From `debug.log`: ``` POTENTIAL DEADLOCK DETECTED Previous lock order was: m_cs_chainstate validation.cpp:2851 (1) cs_main validation.cpp:2868 ::mempool.cs validation.cpp:2868 (2) clientmodel->m_cached_tip_mutex qt/clientmodel.cpp:255 Current lock order is: (2) m_cached_tip_mutex qt/clientmodel.cpp:119 (1) ::cs_main interfaces/node.cpp:200 ``` The possible deadlock was introduced in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/17993
