Remove workMu from tcpip.Endpoint.
workMu is removed and e.mu is now a mutex that supports TryLock. The packet
processing path tries to lock the mutex and if its locked it will just queue the
packet and move on. The endpoint.UnlockUser() will process any backlog of
packets before unlocking the socket.
This simplifies the locking inside tcp endpoints a lot. Further the
endpoint.LockUser() implements spinning as long as the lock is not held by
another syscall goroutine. This ensures low latency as not spinning leads to the
task thread being put to sleep if the lock is held by the packet dispatch
path. This is suboptimal as the lower layer rarely holds the lock for long so
implementing spinning here helps.
If the lock is held by another task goroutine then we just proceed to call
LockUser() and the task could be put to sleep.
The protocol goroutines themselves just call e.mu.Lock() and block if the
lock is currently not available.
