#48410: `wp_insert_post()` can result in duplicate post data

 If 2 identical calls to `wp_insert_post()` are made close enough together,
 2 posts are added to the database instead of 1. These posts differ by post
 ID only. The slug for example is the same.

 This seems to happen because `wp_insert_post()` does a fair amount of
 processing before the database write takes place. The check to determine
 if a post already exists can be _stale_ at the point of insertion.
