Why is the lock necessary? What threads are accessing this?

AddressTrackerLinux will live on the NetworkChangeNotifierLinux::Thread. But
GetMap() will be called from the network thread, by AddressSorter (in response
to OnIPAddressChanged). See:
http://codereview.chromium.org/10442098/

I plan to add NetworkChangeNotifier::GetAddressTracker() (#if
defined(OS_LINUX)).
