We noticed some rare sk_buffs were stepping past the queue when system was
under memory pressure. The general theory is to skip enqueueing
sk_buffs when its not necessary which is the normal case with a system
that is properly provisioned for the task, no memory pressure and enough
cpu assigned.

But, if we can't allocate memory due to an ENOMEM error when enqueueing
the sk_buff into the sockmap receive queue we push it onto a delayed
workqueue to retry later. When a new sk_buff is received we then check
if that queue is empty. However, there is a problem with simply checking
the queue length. When a sk_buff is being processed from the ingress queue
but not yet on the sockmap msg receive queue its possible to also recv
a sk_buff through normal path. It will check the ingress queue which is
zero and then skip ahead of the pkt being processed.

Previously we used sock lock from both contexts which made the problem
harder to hit, but not impossible.

To fix also check the 'state' variable where we would cache partially
processed sk_buff. This catches the majority of cases. But, we also
need to use the mutex lock around this check because we can't have both
codes running and check sensibly. We could perhaps do this with atomic
bit checks, but we are already here due to memory pressure so slowing
things down a bit seems OK and simpler to just grab a lock.

To reproduce issue we run NGINX compliance test with sockmap running and
observe some flakes in our testing that we attributed to this issue.
