Subject: [PATCH] Ticket 50389 - ns-slapd craches while two threads are polling
 the same connection

Bug Description:
	nspr IO is not multi-threaded safe.
	389-ds should not be in a situation where several threads are polling
	a same connection at the same time.
	The scenario is a worker send back an operation result at the same time
	another worker wants to read an incoming request.

Fix Description:
	The fix consist in synchonizing polling with c_pdumutex.

	The thread that sends data (flush_ber) hold c_pdumutex.

	The thread that reads the data does a non blocking read. It then
	enforce ioblocktimeout with iteration of poll.
	The reading thread must hold c_pdumutex during poll to synchronize
	with the reader thread.
	The reading thread must poll with a small timeout
	(CONN_TURBO_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL). In order to not block
	the thread that send back data, the fix reduces the delay to 0.1s.
