From: Long Li <leo.lilong@huawei.com>

The queue freeze was originally needed to prevent concurrent requests
from accessing config->socks while the backing array was being
reallocated. Since config->socks is now an xarray, insertions are
safe under RCU without freezing the queue.

This significantly reduces connection setup time when using a large
number of connections (-C 256):

  before: real 4.510s
  after:  real 0.263s
