The IRowMultiWriterReader::getWriter() implementation incremented
a unprotected writer count, used to determine end of reading.
It's thread-unsafeness could cause premature termination of
the reader side.
NB: this is only used by the unsorted parallel join helper.
The race condition can cause the join to prematurely stop and
potentiall cause a timeout error when joining the remaining worker
threads [~CMulticoreUnorderedJoinHelper worker[xx] join timed out"
