Fix grammar in buffer lock wait message

Correct the wait message from "Waiting to acquire a exclusive lock on a 
buffer"
to "Waiting to acquire an exclusive lock on a buffer".

The word "exclusive" starts with a vowel sound, so the indefinite article
should be "an" instead of "a".

Regards,
Guoqing Yang
