prevent race in ng_socket

Recently we got some "Fatal trap 12" panics when the userland processes which used ng_socket to communicate got killed. The panics happened in ng_queue and the backtrace is

Tracing pid 12 tid 100009 td 0xfffffe0001514490
_mtx_lock_sleep() at _mtx_lock_sleep+0x70/frame 0xffffff800025a700
_mtx_lock_flags() at _mtx_lock_flags+0x4d/frame 0xffffff800025a710
ngs_rcvdata() at ngs_rcvdata+0xfa/frame 0xffffff800025a870
ng_apply_item() at ng_apply_item+0x1f2/frame 0xffffff800025a970
ngthread() at ngthread+0x1c6/frame 0xffffff800025a9a0
fork_exit() at fork_exit+0x114/frame 0xffffff800025a9f0
fork_trampoline() at fork_trampoline+0xe/frame 0xffffff800025a9f0

The reason is that soclose() closed the data socket while ngs_rcvdata() in ng_socket.c was still using it.

ngs_rcvmsg() in the same file applies locking to prevent the race in r208300, so we borrowed the idea to ngs_rcvdata() and got a patch attached here.

We tested the patched system and the described problem does not happen anymore.
