Summary:                    call processing deadlock with dialplan reload and
ast_hint_state_changed
Description: 
I had a dialplan reload hit while a state change was taking place.  Looking
at core, it appears that the conlock was taken by
ast_merge_context_and_delete() and the hints lock was taken by
ast_hint_state_changed()  

The hint state change eventually came to ast_hint_extension() which
attempts to grab conlock.  In the mean time calls were stacking up.  I
forced a Segfault to get a core file and dug in to get this information.
