Yeah, the only lock held there seems to be the socket lock, and it
looks like all CPU's are spinning on it.

And DEBUG_SPINLOCK / DEBUG_SPINLOCK_SLEEP too. Maybe you're triggering
some odd networking thing.  It sounds unlikely, but maybe some error
case you get into doesn't release the socket lock.

I think PROVE_LOCKING already enables DEBUG_SPINLOCK, but the sleeping
lock thing is separate, iirc.
