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. Updates #231, #357 PiperOrigin-RevId: 301808349
