    tcp: Fix upper half (socket code) and so_port switching race.
    
    Use message put done receipt to change this socket's so_port, i.e. _after_
    this message was put onto the target netisr's msgport but _before_ the
    message could be pulled from the target netisr's msgport, so that:
    - The upper half (socket code) will not see the new msgport before this
      message reaches the new msgport and messages for this socket will be
      ordered.
    - This message will see the new msgport, when its handler is called in the
      target netisr.
    
    Add comment about it and explain why the so_port switching should be done
    in this commit's fashion.
