Actually, no reason to hold the lock. This setsockopt holds the socket
lock, which connect would need, too. So testing that the queue
is empty after testing that it is connected to a v4 address is
sufficient to ensure that no ipv6 packets are queued for reception.

After this it should be safe to remove the warning in ip_recv_error.
