rx: prevent connection channel assignment race
When rx was converted to use pthreads, the code that allocates
a call to a connection channel in rxi_ReceivePacket() was not
made thread safe. The code prior to this patchset permitted a race
in the server connection case. The rx_connection channel assignment
in rxi_ReceivePacket() and the call destruction in rxi_FreeCall()
and rxi_DestroyConnectionNoLock() did not consistently protect the
rx_connection channel array using the conn_call_lock.
This race could result in rxi_ReceivePacket() operating on a
rx_call which was disconnected from the previously assigned
rx_connection.
In addition, the code in rxi_ReceivePacket() that was intended
to protect the allocation of a call using rxi_NewCall() to the
connection channel array was racy with itself.
This patchset consistently applies the conn_call_lock to protect
the allocation / deallocation of calls to the connection channel
array and in the process simplifies the logic in rxi_ReceivePacket()
as it is no longer necessary to protect against a null call pointer
since the race can no longer be lost.
