    Rx: Do not hold call lock across memcpy in rx_ReadProc/rx_WriteProc
    
    1.4.x does not hold the call lock across memcpy operations in
    rx_ReadProc, rx_ReadProc32, rx_WriteProc, rx_WriteProc32.  The
    claim is that the call curpos, curlen, and nLeft fields which
    refer to the current packet being processed will not be touched
    by any other thread.  Therefore it is safe to drop the call lock
    to permit another thread to add packets to the call while the memcpy
    is performed in parallel.
    
    This patchset continues to hold the call lock longer than the
    original implementation but does drop it for the length of time
    it takes to copy data from the packet buffer to the application
    buffer.
