Maybe the issue is somewhere else and this not the proper solution, but
I don't think the given patch is broken as-is. It fixes deadlocks which
are pretty easy to reproduce with Hitman (as explained in the commit
description).

No, I was wrong. resv is always NULL in this situation. The best
solution is probably to try to clean up that code path because I do
agree: it's a bit messy.
