replSetSyncFrom can cause deadlock between ReplicationCoordinator and InitialSyncer

      The InitialSync::_fcvFetcherCallback function acquires the InitialSync mutex and then acquires the ReplicationCoordinator mutex. This ordering is inconsistent with some functions in ReplicationCoordinator e.g. ReplicationCoordinatorImpl::processReplSetSyncFrom and ReplicationCoordinatorImpl::processReplSetGetStatus. At the time of writing this, the ReplicationCoordinator mutex acquisition was elimiinated in processReplSetGetStatus by SERVER-34758. The potential deadlock with processReplSetSyncFrom is mostly addressed already in SERVER-28840.
