BUG/MEDIUM: stconn: stop to enable/disable reads from streams via si_update_rx
It is not really a bug because it does not fix any known issue. And it is
flagged as MEDIUM because it is sensitive. But if there are some extra calls
to process_stream(), it can be an issue because, in si_update_rx(), we may
disable reading for the SC when outgoing data are blocked in the input
channel. But it is not really the process_stream() job to take care of
that. This may block data receipt.
It is an old code, mainly here to avoid wakeup in loop on the stats
applet. Today, it seems useless and can lead to bugs. An endpoint is
responsible to block the SC if it waits for some room and the opposite
endpoint is responsible to unblock it when some data are sent. The stream
should not interfere on this part.
This patch could be backported to 2.7 after a period of observation. And it
should only be backported to lower versions if an issue is reported.
