async: fix __lowest_in_progress()
At 37000 feet somewhere near Greenland I woke up from a half-sleep with the realisation that __lowest_in_progress() is buggy. After landing I checked and there were indeed 2 problems with it; this patch fixes both: * The order of the list checks was wrong * The locking was not correct.
