Greetings,

The Go race detector is reporting a data race in my application due to
what appears to be concurrent calls to Peer.SendHandshakeInitiation().
It seems that it is unsafe to call golang.org/x/sys/unix.SendmsgN()
concurrently due to the sockaddr() implementation which mutates
memory: https://github.com/golang/sys/blob/bd437916bb0eb726b873ee8e9b2dcf212d32e2fd/unix/syscall_aix.go#L53-L55

I believe this data race can be fixed by switching to an exclusive
lock in the Peer.SendBuffer() method:
https://github.com/WireGuard/wireguard-go/blob/f2ea85e9f9921bc29a7dcb2007212b153540c01a/device/peer.go#L144-L145

If it helps I can mail a patch to this effect. I've copied the output
of the race detector below.

Best,
-Ben
