net/socket.c:net_family[] handling question

Hi,

I looked at net/socket.c and noticed a rather unusual way of protecting
the array of registered protocol families against writers
(sock_register/unregister()) and readers - sock_create(). Is there a
reason why one can't just use read/write spinlocks for this?

Regards,
Tigran
