Summary:                    NOTIFY race condition when state changes happen very
fast
Description: 
This particular problem was encountered with SNOM360 phones, but it is not
specific to it.

What happens:
- SNOM has subscribed a LED to another phone
- SNOM user dials this other phone. 
- dialplan adds an answer-after=0 SIP header.
- asterisk send INVITE to the other phone
- other phone send back RINGING, this is sent back to the SNOM as well
- asterisk send NOTIFY 'early' to the SNOM
- meanwhile, the other phone answers very quickly
- asterisk sends OK to INVITE to SNOM to indicate the other phone 
  has answered the line, and immediately after that, a NOTIFY 'confirmed'.

  At this point in time the OK to the previous NOTIFY 'early' has not 
  been sent yet by the SNOM.

Now the system is confused, because the SNOM finally sends the OK
to the NOTIFY 'early', but asterisk is only expecting an OK to the
last sent NOTIFY, and starts retrying. See attached trace.

I think asterisk should not sent a new NOTIFY. I think ideally NOTIFY's
should be queued on a per-channel basis. Or should asterisk remember
earlier
