This add logic, that serializes write access to single socket
by multiple threads. It is implemented be adding field with TID
of current writer. When writer tries to send something, it checks
that field is -1(free), else it sleep in the same way as waiting
for free space at peers' side.

I think you forgot to move this patch at the beginning of the series.
It's important because in this way we can backport to stable branches 
easily.

About the implementation, can't we just add a mutex that we hold until 
we have sent all the payload?
Re-thinking, I guess we can't because we have the timeout to deal 
with...
I need to check other implementations like TCP.
Thanks,
Stefano
