Enlarge critical section to cover processNextTransaction()

Enlarge critical section to cover processNextTransaction()

As it turns out the critical section is not sufficient to cover the case
when the user thread performs a submit/allocate/submit in the time window
between us releasing the in-flight transaction and taking the lock: we would
have to re-check inflightTx after taking the lock.

Since we are going to take the lock anyway, reverse the order of operations
by making processNextTransaction() synchronized, which means the user
thread will not be able to submit the transaction even when it observes
inflightTx as null outside the lock.
