Walter Doekes dcb25bb057 app_chanspy: Fix occasional deadlock with ChanSpy and Local channels.
Channel masquerading had a conflict with autochannel locking.

When locking autochannel->channel, the channel is fetched from the
autochannel and then locked. During the fetch, the autochannel -- which
has no locks itself -- can be modified by someone who owns the channel
lock. That means that the value of autochan->channel cannot be trusted
until you hold the lock.

In practice, this caused problems with Local channels getting
masqueraded away while the ChanSpy attempted to get info from that
channel. The old channel which was about to get removed got locked, but
the new (replaced) channel got unlocked (no-op). Because the replaced
channel was now locked (and would never get unlocked), it couldn't get
removed from the channel list in a timely manner, and would now cause
deadlocks when iterating over the channel list.

This change checks the autochannel after locking the channel for changes
to the autochannel. If the channel had been changed, the lock is
reobtained on the new channel.

In theory it seems possible that after this fix, the lock attempt on the
old (wrong) channel can be on an already destroyed lock, maybe causing
a crash. But that hasn't been observed in the wild and is harder induce
than the current deadlock.

Thanks go to Filip Frank for suggesting a fix similar to this and
especially to IRC user hexanol for pointing out why this deadlock was
possible and testing this fix. And to Richard for catching my rookie
while loop mistake ;)
