Review request for Asterisk Developers, Mark Michelson, rmudgett, and Matt Jordan.


Summary
-------

Also adds locking to a number of other functions which are calling ast_bridged_channel (which is documented as requiring a lock for safe running, which was the purpose of irroot's original locking patch in action_agents.

Unlike the other patch on reviewboard right now, this opts to enforce locking order instead of using deadlock avoidance.

Celebrity endorsement: "This looks incredibly sane to me." - MMichelson

Testing
-------

Not much I'm afraid to say. I can't reproduce the issue since it involves real world use over a period of time.  I'll ask Alex Villacís Lasso to give it a shot though.


Thanks,

jrose
