This is a combo of "portupgrade beating the crap out of pkg" and "pkg
beating the crap out of your disk".  For tha latter, see a quick
rundown at <https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/issues/905>; you can see
the difference with/out the locking yourself with that command line.

For the former, see a fix at
<https://github.com/freebsd/portupgrade/pull/60> which seems to
eliminate it (at least, it should only slow down when it really has a
lot of stuff to do).
