That caching gethostbyname function is only suitable for
single-threaded use -- it's an API problem, not an implementation
problem; for multi-threaded use we need something with a
gethostbyname_r-like interface (BIO_gethostbyname_r). All locking
will be done there: lock, call BIO_gethostbyname, copy result, unlock.
