Remove deadlock in raw.endpoint caused by recursive read locking
Prevents the following deadlock: - Raw packet is sent via e.Write(), which read locks e.mu - Connect() is called, blocking on write locking e.mu - The packet is routed to loopback and back to e.HandlePacket(), which read locks e.mu Per the atomic.RWMutex documentation, this deadlocks: "If a goroutine holds a RWMutex for reading and another goroutine might call Lock, no goroutine should expect to be able to acquire a read lock until the initial read lock is released. In particular, this prohibits recursive read locking. This is to ensure that the lock eventually becomes available; a blocked Lock call excludes new readers from acquiring the lock." Also, release eps.mu earlier in deliverRawPacket. PiperOrigin-RevId: 359600926
