We do the send_prepare() and the fill of the head packet without the
mutex held.  It will help a lot for compression and later in the
series for zero pages.

Notice that we can use p->pages without holding p->mutex because
p->pending_job == 1.

Looking at my source tree, without the rest of your series, I see an
unlock just before this pair of }'s; doesn't that need to go?
