Summary:                    Channel opening and unregistering race
Description: 
Function zt_specchan_open can have a race condition with zt_chan_unreg
resulting in crashing of the program (Asterisk) or the whole computer
during the opening of a Zap device file.

Converting the rwlock into a semaphore here is a matter of of correctness
because zt_register_hdlc_device function call can sleep while a Zaptel
driver might unregister the channel, which might lead to a crash.
