The function is made safe and now returns Result. Functionally it now fails when it can not write the newly generated key to the database whereas before it still returned the key but logged a warning. There is no reason this shouldn't be able to store the key and silently not storing the key may result in later operations assuming the key is available, so failing seems like a better choice. The function now also uses a proper mutex to guard against multiple threads generating keys. And this mutex is Context-scoped rather than fully global (static).
