ln_shutdown returns -ESHUTDOWN if ln_shutdown
is already set.
The lock is always taken to set ln_shutdown, but apparently
we don't need to hold the lock for this test.
I guess if it is set immediately after the test, and before
we take the lock then.... can anything bad happen?

It seems the selection code being affected by this patch later gets moved to its own routine called lnet_select_pathway().  The logic is completely re-written so it may not be important to fix the use of locks here.  However,  it is not good that the lock is not being held while checking for shutdown.

Thanks... I might drop the patch here, and probably fold it into which
ever subsequent patch changes this code can gets rid of lnet_send().

I'll try that anyway.
