Syslog's SYSLOG_ACTION_READ is supposed to block until the next syslog record can be read, and then it should read that record. However, because @syslog_lock is not held between waking up and reading the record, another reader could read the record first, thus causing SYSLOG_ACTION_READ to return with a value of 0, never having read _anything_. By holding @syslog_lock between waking up and reading, it can be guaranteed that SYSLOG_ACTION_READ blocks until it successfully reads a syslog record (or a real error occurs).
