Alex Chi Z. 8624aabc98 fix(pageserver): deadlock in gc-compaction (#8590)
We need both compaction and gc lock for gc-compaction. The lock order
should be the same everywhere, otherwise there could be a deadlock where
A waits for B and B waits for A.

We also had a double-lock issue. The compaction lock gets acquired in
the outer `compact` function. Note that the unit tests directly call
`compact_with_gc`, and therefore not triggering the issue.

## Summary of changes

Ensure all places acquire compact lock and then gc lock. Remove an extra
compact lock acqusition.
