Note that rwlock in networking code is discouraged, as they have to be
unfair, see commit 0daf07e527095e64ee8927ce297ab626643e9f51.

In this specific case I think there should be no problems, as is
extremely hard/impossible to have serious contention on the write
side,. Also there is already an existing rwlock nearby, no not a
blocker but IMHO worthy to be noted.

Cheers,

Paolo
