// re-locked back after call to callback is completed. Callback invocation is
// guarded by flag's secondary mutex instead which prevents concurrent
// callback invocation. Note that it is possible for other thread to grab the
// primary lock and update flag's value at any time during the callback
// invocation. This is by design. Callback can get a value of the flag if
// necessary, but it might be different from the value initiated the callback
// and it also can be different by the time the callback invocation is
// completed. Requires that *primary_lock be held in exclusive mode; it may be
// released and reacquired by the implementation.
