### Description

Similar to [issue #1886](https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/issues/1886), we have Kamailio receiving WebRTC connections from clients and we see many errors related to connections being forcibly closed.
We see two cases where this occurs, the former of which occurs much more often.
```
Dec 29 01:12:43.909934 tlx-dal-ecv2-staging kamailio_edge[14813]: WARNING: websocket [ws_frame.c:810]: ws_keepalive(): forcibly closing connection
Dec 29 01:12:43.910179 tlx-dal-ecv2-staging kamailio_edge[14813]: ERROR: websocket [ws_conn.c:375]: wsconn_close_now(): getting TCP/TLS connection while trying to close. src_ip:src_port=x.x.x.x:49319, dst_port=443
```
```
Dec 29 00:53:28.110949 tlx-dal-ecv2-staging kamailio_edge[14817]: WARNING: websocket [ws_frame.c:227]: encode_and_send_ws_frame(): TCP/TLS connection get failed
Dec 29 00:53:28.111187 tlx-dal-ecv2-staging kamailio_edge[14817]: ERROR: websocket [ws_frame.c:761]: ping_pong(): sending keepalive. src_ip:src_port=x.x.x.x:46712, dst_port=443
```

### Troubleshooting
There seems to be a common occurrence where the WebSocket keepalive will not receive a pong and close the websocket connection. While closing, we see that the underlying TCP connection has already been closed. While that may be harmless, I am concerned there is a race condition that could lead to other problems.
