On branch lbcore224, I modified AppenderAttachableImpl so that only
addAppender and appendLoopOnAppenders could be invoked. See [1].
IllegalMonitorStateException was still being thrown. Given commit [1],
how could you trigger a IllegalMonitorStateException ? It seems quite
impossible although the code for ReadWriteLock is quite complicated so
there is ample room for bugs.
