Refactor mutex usage for connection safety

This commit revises locking mechanism usage around connection operations to avoid potential deadlocks and improve code clarity. Specifically, defer statements were removed and explicit unlocks were added to ensure that mutexes are properly released after critical sections. This change affects several methods, including `Close`, `cmd`, `TLSConnectionState`, `UpdateDeadline`, and newly introduced locking for concurrent data writes and reads in `dataCloser`.
