From original PR elastic/logstash#1270


Logstash was consistently failing with the following error when a client connected to a TCP output:

NoMethodError: undefined method `write' for nil:NilClass
       register at /opt/logstash/lib/logstash/outputs/tcp.rb:92
           each at org/jruby/RubyArray.java:1613
       register at /opt/logstash/lib/logstash/outputs/tcp.rb:91
           call at org/jruby/RubyProc.java:271
         encode at /opt/logstash/lib/logstash/codecs/json.rb:45
        receive at /opt/logstash/lib/logstash/outputs/tcp.rb:143
         handle at /opt/logstash/lib/logstash/outputs/base.rb:86
     initialize at (eval):21
           call at org/jruby/RubyProc.java:271
         output at /opt/logstash/lib/logstash/pipeline.rb:266
   outputworker at /opt/logstash/lib/logstash/pipeline.rb:225
  start_outputs at /opt/logstash/lib/logstash/pipeline.rb:152

Logstash at the time was receiving a heavy stream of events, so this is likely the result of a race condition accessing @client_threads which is not thread safe, so this change synchronizes access to it across threads.

instead of doing a "long" lock, I'd suggest keeping the client_thread var usage and simply do a short lock to update the @client_threads ivar like that

@client_threads_lock.synchronize do
  @client_threads << client_thread
end
