What do you suggest?

I did it this way because by modifying only the caller, we would have a
nested lock.

This way instead we are sure that if we backport this patch, we don't
forget to touch hvs_shutdown() as well.

I'm not a socket expert but the approach seems reasonable to me.

Thanks, I'll send v2 fixing the warning.
