directory: serialize song deletes from playlist during update
This makes the update code thread-safe and doesn't penalize
the playlist code by complicating it with complicated and
error-prone locks (and the associated overhead, not everybody
has a thread-implementation as good as NPTL).
The update task blocks during the delete; but the update task is
a slow task anyways so we can block w/o people caring too much.
This was also our only freeSong call site, so remove that
function.
Note that deleting entire directories is not fully thread-safe,
yet; as their traversals are not yet locked.
