  • Make the locking order between SRTP & its member transport uniform or independent.

  • Description modified (diff)
  • Summary changed from Non-uniform locking order between SRTP & ICE cause deadlock to Non-uniform locking order between SRTP & its member transport (e.g:ICE) may cause deadlock

In r2144: Updated SRTP locking to not guard member transport when sending packet; added separate tx_buffer for RTCP since tx_buffer is not guarded by SRTP lock anymore.

This should make the locking order between SRTP and its member transport uniform in receiving packet and independent in sending packet.
