rds_send_drop_to() is used during socket tear down to find all the messages on the socket and flush them . It can race with the acking code unless it takes the m_rs_lock on each and every message.
This plugs a hole where we didn't take m_rs_lock on any message that didn't have the RDS_MSG_ON_CONN set. Taking m_rs_lock avoids double frees and other memory corruptions as the ack code trusts the message m_rs pointer on a socket that had actually been freed. We must take m_rs_lock to access m_rs. Because of lock nesting and rs access, we also need to acquire rs_lock.
