Yeah :|

It's a bit of a workaround for the consistency of the data stream.
There's bunch of state in the TLS ULP and waiting for mem or data
releases and re-takes the socket lock. So to stop the flow annoying
corner case races I slapped a lock around all of the reader.

IMHO depending on the socket lock for anything non-trivial and outside
of the socket itself is a bad idea in general.

The immediate need at the time was that if you did a read() and someone
else did a peek() at the same time from a stream of A B C D you may read
A D B C.
