Summary:                    Old LAGRQ frames showing up in new IAX2 calls
Description: 
If there are two successive IAX2 calls having the same source and
destination call id, sometimes old LAGRQ frames belonging to the first call
are transmitted as part of a VNAK retransmission during the second call.
Since the old LAGRQ have wildly out of order sequence numbers, the other
endpoint will request retransmission, which can cause a VNAK storm.
I am able to reproduce this by stress testing chan_iax2 with an automated
script that generates about 3 calls per second, up to about 200
simultaneous calls.  This will pretty much guarantee that source ids will
be recycled on the server side, which can trigger this issue.

Well, turns out that the patch is not good enough.  There is still a race
condition between the scheduler thread and the network thread. If a
scheduled event is triggered and immediately after, the network thread
clears the frame, then __attempt_transmit might not be able to extract the
correct callno which can lead to crashes
