Do not read-lock NIC recursively
A deadlock may occur if a write lock on a RWMutex is blocked between nested read lock attempts as the inner read lock attempt will be blocked in this scenario. Example (T1 and T2 are differnt goroutines): T1: obtain read-lock T2: attempt write-lock (blocks) T1: attempt inner/nested read-lock (blocks) Here we can see that T1 and T2 are deadlocked. Tests: Existing tests pass. PiperOrigin-RevId: 298426678
