Description of problem:
The described observation is not a bug per se and I dont even know if it can lead to a problem. But ReclaimSpace task does not acquire any lock, and it can be concurrently executed to the repo sync or content validation (successfully tried both).

Doing concurrently two different (in some way opposite) activities on a repo sounds as a potential problem, hence raising it this way. If that concurrent activity can trigger a problem, please add repo lock to ReclaimSpace task. If not, close this BZ as NOTABUG.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Sat 7.0 snap 9

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Sync a (bigger) repo with On Demand download policy
2. Open the repo in WebUI in two tabs.
3. Quickly one after another, initiate sync and reclaim space tasks from the two tabs.
4. Check the task details / ReclaimSpace task locks.

Actual results:
4. It is possible to have the tasks running concurrently. ReclaimSpace does not acquire any lock.

Expected results:
Add the repo lock to ReclaimSpace in case it is needed.
