[PATCH 20/31] [CCID3]: Remove race condition and update t_ipi when `s' changes

[PATCH 20/31] [CCID3]: Remove race condition and update t_ipi when `s' changes

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

This:

 1. removes a race condition in the access to the scheduled send time t_nom which
    results from allowing asynchronous r/w access to t_nom without locks;

 2. updates the inter-packet interval t_ipi = s/X when `s' changes, following a
    suggestion by Ian McDonald.
