Hi John,

One more bugfix - this bug has been there forever, so it might not be all that much important. Your call.

We were sending a host command while the mutex wasn't held. This led to hard-to-catch races.

Please pull - thanks.

From: Emmanuel Grumbach <[email protected]>

There is a flow in which we send the host command in SYNC
mode, but we don't take priv->mutex.
