When doing a releaseip event, we do them in parallel for all the separate
IPs.  This creates a problem for iptables, which isn't reentrant, giving
the strange message:
iptables encountered unknown error "18446744073709551615" while initializing table "filter"

The worst possible symptom of this is that releaseip won't remove the rule
which prevents us listening to clients during releaseip, and the node will be
healthy but non-responsive.

The simple workaround is to flock-wrap iptables.  Better would be to rework
the code so we didn't need to use iptables in these paths.
