Summary:                    [patch] p->chan can disappear between test and lock
in deadlock avoidance in local_hangup
Description: 
r 259899 introduces an unlock/lock sequence on p-> chan in the deadlock
avoidance for a failed lock on p->owner, in local_hangup.  However, as
noted in a comment added/modified in r 292867, and assumed by code which
tests for NULL, p->chan may be nulled whilst the lock on p is off.

Depending on exactly where the NULL is set, as well as the case that is
handled, this could result in:

1) deferencing NULL, when calling lock;
2) applying a lock to a structure that is being destroyed.
