Summary
-------

res_calendar calls ast_unload_resource for the related tech modules when it is unloaded. If this happens through a 'core stop gracefully', then it will be unloading the tech modules that are already in the list that is being traversed (supposedly safely) for unloading, eventually causing a double free. The problem seems to be that ast_unload_resource, while it calls the unload() callback function for the module, does not actually unlink the module from the list of modules. So the AST_LIST_TRAVERSE_SAFE_BEGIN {} still iterates over the unloaded module.

This patch causes ast_unload_resource to call AST_LIST_REMOVE on successfully unloaded modules.

Testing
-------

Scenario: Start Asterisk with res_calendar and assorted calendar tech modules loaded. Run 'core stop gracefully'.
Before patch: Crash.
After patch: No crash.


Thanks,

Terry
