Fix gparted scans forever blank disk in virtual machine (#697518)
In some circumstances gparted would appear to scan forever if it encountered a blank hard disk. This would happen if the timing of events was right and gparted encountered a disk without a partition table. The missing partition table would cause a call to the exception handler, which could get stuck in a thread waiting position. The problem was traced back to the ped_exception_handler and a cond.signal() call missing the requisite mutex.lock() and mutex.unlock() around the signal call. Closes Bug #697518 - gparted scans forever blank disk in virtualbox
