Summary:                    [patch] DAHDI mwi thread race conditions, sometimes
crash or output wierd noises on the call
Description: 
DAHDI appears to have a race condition in do_monitor where it can spawn two
instances of mwi_send_data for the same dahdi_pvt structure if the ioctl
for DAHDI_MWT fails around line 7922. 

Attached is a backtrace of a crash that can occur with this issue.

My test environment is asterisk trunk r134352 and dahdi r4590 with a 4
port analog card. The test was just picking up the analog phone, and having
it drop into an immediate context that just played back a file.

Here are the debug messages, accompanied by 'dialup like' noises on the
analog phone:

[Jul 31 18:09:53] DEBUG[25958]: chan_dahdi.c:7914 do_monitor: Unable to
control message waiting led on channel 4: Inappropriate ioctl for device

[Jul 31 18:09:54] WARNING[25962]: chan_dahdi.c:7543 mwi_send_thread: MWI
Send Write failed: Invalid argument

I've attempted a few wierd ways to fix it, but I think the patch just
creatively masking the problem instead of fixing it (still, I've attached
the patch because it makes it work).
