Looks fine to me assuming that the locking functions can be used outside
the GIL.

On the test side, the case I supplied was low noise for me - I'd
hesitate to do as much compression as you are (50 times more) unless you
saw it spuriously pass a lot - the nature of the deadlock isn't
dependent on races so much as simple scheduling - as long as the seocnd
thread is scheduled before the first thread completes compressing the
deadlock will occur.
