sockbuf locking in sctp_sosend()

Hi,
As part of an attempt to finally fix races with listen(2), I have some
patches which move the socket I/O sx locks out of struct sockbuf and
into the owning socket structure. This is a prerequisite for
synchronizing socket I/O with listen(2), since most pru_sosend routines
acquire the sx lock as their first operation.
I noticed though that among pru_sosend implementations, scpt_sosend() is
unique in that it does not use sblock() to serialize senders. Is that
intentional? I see that sctp_soreceive() uses it.
