Description

Remove deleted an addressbook entry without holding the lock that Put and Seen both use. This let a concurrent Seen call read the entry, have Remove delete it in between, then write its stale copy back, silently undoing the removal.

In practice: kademlia calls Remove when it evicts a bad peer, but a concurrent hive gossip sighting or kademlia's periodic "seen" sweep on the same peer could bring it right back.
