The unlock_body() function has multiple calling sites — svn_fs_fs__unlock()
and unlock_single(). This patch moves the ub->infos initialization into
svn_fs_fs__unlock(), but leaves unlock_single() unchanged. Hence, we will
most likely see another segfault due to us accessing uninitialized memory:

Should probably be named "test-obtain-write-lock-failure".

+ /* Make a read only 'write-lock' file. This prevents any write operations
+ from being executed. */
+ SVN_ERR(svn_io_set_file_read_only("obtain-write-lock-failure-test/write-lock",
+ TRUE, pool));

I suppose there is no reason to use ignore_enoent = TRUE here, right? The
'write-lock' is always there and if it is not, the test shouldn't give a
false positive.
