ari: Fix deadlock problem with functions that use autoservice.

The code for getting channel variables from ARI assumed that you needed
to lock the channel in order to properly execute functions and read
channel variables. Apparently, this is not the case, since any dialplan
function that puts the channel into autoservice deadlocks when
attempting to remove the channel from autoservice.
