Re: [libmicrohttpd] [PATCH] epoll: add locking around eready DLL

Somewhat related it's probably worth putting the whole epoll switch statement in connection.c under an "if (0 != (daemon->options & MHD_USE_EPOLL_LINUX_ONLY))" because there is no point in adding the connection to the epoll linked list or updating the epoll_state when we are not running in epoll mode.

This list was being modified on multiple threads with no locking.
Specifically if 2 connections were made close together and each spawned
their own threads they could both be adding themselves to the list at
the same time. The resulting issue is that one might add itself to the
tail first and then the second thread could come in before the first
added itself to the head. The result is that it would see that there was
a tail and attempt to access the head which, since it is NULL, causes a
SIGSEGV. Adding this locking should prevent this issue.

Additionally it is worth noting that if EPOLL_SUPPORT is set the eready
DLL is inserted to even if the MHD_USE_EPOLL_LINUX_ONLY option is not
set. So not only are users of MHD_USE_EPOLL_LINUX_ONLY vulernerable but
others are as well.
