This PR fixes the issue found by audit, where a race condition can happen while handling reorgs in the
batchSyncronizer
when a new sequence of batches is being synced.Since both routines update the start block from which we sync batches, it may happen that reorg detector will update the start block while the sync routine is downloading batches, which can lead to some inconsistent batches.
PR introduces a
sync
lock which both routines will use, meaning, we will not handle reorg until we finish syncing batches, or we will not sync batches, until we handle a reorg first.
