That would make things simple and consistent. My idea was just taking
the existing lock_sock in do_tls_getsockopt_conf out of the switch and
put it just above TLS_CRYPTO_INFO_READY.

While we're at it, should we move the

    ctx->prot_info.version != TLS_1_3_VERSION

check in do_tls_setsockopt_no_pad under lock_sock?  I don't think that
can do anything wrong (we'd have to get past this check just before a
failing setsockopt clears crypto_info, and even then we're just
reading a bit from the context), it just looks a bit strange. Or just
lock the socket around all of do_tls_setsockopt_no_pad, like the other
options we have.
