Summary:                    manager_park can deadlock with ast_channel_free, for
channel 1 of the park operation (channel list v channel lock)
Description: 
manager_park (in features.c) does ast_get_channel_by_name_locked on both
channels that it is given.  This locks the list of channels during its
processing, meaning that the manager thread ends up locking channel 1, and
then the list of channels.

ast_channel_free write locks the list of channels, then temporarily locks
the channel it is freeing, meaning it applies lock in the reverse order!

A real deadlock has been observed with manager_park waiting for channel
list and ast_channel_free waiting for the channel.
