When data is available it'd let go of the lock and then call `AsyncLogWriter::write()`, which would immediately try to acquire that same lock. We can remove this second instance by moving the work needed to be done under lock to `run`.

Assuming this is the only place we call `write` then this refactoring of the code executed under the lock seems quite reasonable to me.
