mu.lock: after acquiring m.ch, why does the re-check only look at closed and not ctx?

Description
Hi, I was looking at [mu.lock](https://github.com/coder/websocket/blob/master/conn.go#L286) and had a question about this part:
```go
func (m *mu) lock(ctx context.Context) error {
select {
case <-m.c.closed:
return net.ErrClosed
case <-ctx.Done():
return fmt.Errorf("failed to acquire lock: %w", ctx.Err())
case m.ch <- struct{}{}:
// To make sure the connection is certainly alive.
// As it's possible the send on m.ch was selected
// over the receive on closed.
select {
case <-m.c.closed:
// Make sure to release.
m.unlock()
return net.ErrClosed
default:
}
return nil
}
}
```
After acquiring the lock, `closed` is checked again in case both branches were ready.
Why isn't `ctx.Done()` checked here as well?
Could `ctx` be canceled right after `m.ch` is selected, causing `lock` to return `nil` while holding the lock with an already-canceled context?
