Andrii reported that sockopt_inherit occasionally hangs up on 5.5 kernel [0]. This can happen if server_thread runs faster than the main thread. In that case, pthread_cond_wait will wait forever because pthread_cond_signal was executed before the main thread was blocking. Let's move pthread_mutex_lock up a bit to make sure server_thread runs strictly after the main thread goes to sleep. (Not sure why this is 5.5 specific, maybe scheduling is less deterministic? But I was able to confirm that it does indeed happen in a VM.)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
