      Fix 09006ccec7928c9cf53bca6abe741e8d4d466c98

      Check for stale DBs was in the wrong place.

Since back-mdb does no caching, it's OK to run slapadd while slapd is running;
slapd will see the new data immediately. In fact you can run multiple slapds
on the same database and they will stay perfectly in sync. I'm not sure that
that's actually a useful thing to do, but you can do it if you want...

To answer my own question - apparently it's useful to get around bottlenecks in the slapd connection manager. Over 123,000 searches/second using two slapds on the same mdb database. At this point core#0 was at 99.5% busy in soft interrupts. The slapds were only using (combined) 1250% CPU.
