tcp_usrreq.c:1.313 removed tcbinfo locking from tcp_usr_accept(), which

while in principle a good idea, opened us up to a race inherrent to
the syncache's direct insertion of incoming TCP connections into the
"completed connection" listen queue, as it transpires that the socket
is inserted before the inpcb is fully filled in by syncache_expand().
The bug manifested with the occasional returning of 0.0.0.0:0 in the
address returned by the accept() system call, which occurred if accept
managed to execute tcp_usr_accept() before syncache_expand() had copied
the endpoint addresses into inpcb connection state.

Re-add tcbinfo locking around the address copyout, which has the effect
of delaying the copy until syncache_expand() has finished running, as
it is run while the tcbinfo lock is held.  This is undesirable in that
it increases contention on tcbinfo further, but a more significant
change will be required to how the syncache inserts new sockets in
order to fix this and keep more granular locking here.  In particular,
either more state needs to be passed into sonewconn() so that
pru_attach() can fill in the fields *before* the socket is inserted, or
the socket needs to be inserted in the incomplete connection queue
until it is actually ready to be used.
