Hi,

Not sure if this is the correct place for bug reports, hope it's okay :)

I found my wireguard-go server (built from current ToT 1417a47) always 
panicking when I ran speedtest on a client via the server. I rebuilt the 
server with data race detector (`go build -race`) and got the following 
trace:

==================

The bug looks introduced by a recent commit 9e2f386 "conn, device, tun: 
implement vectorized I/O on Linux". Without much knowledge to the 
codebase, it seems to me that Endpoint is supposed to be guarded by the 
RWMutex embedded in Peer, yet the change introduced a write without 
locking the mutex (`ep.ClearSrc()` called from sticky_linux.go:18).

In addition, I found it weird that Endpoint objects are reused via 
`endpointPool`. The docstring suggests "Endpoints are immutable, so we 
can re-use them" but that doesn't seem true.

Added authors/reviewers of 9e2f386 to cc. Would you take a look?

Regards,
SC
