It is possible when processing a SIP REGISTER request to have two
threads end up creating contact_status structures in sorcery.
contact_status is created using a "find or create" function. If two
threads call into this at the same time, each thread will fail to find
an existing contact_status, and so both will end up creating a new
contact status.
During testing, we would see sporadic failures because the
PJSIP_CONTACT() dialplan function would operate on a different
contact_status than what had been updated by res_pjsip/pjsip_options.
The fix here is two-fold:
1) The "find or create" function for contact_status now has a lock
around the entire operation. This way, if two threads attempt the
operation simultaneously, the first to get there will create the object,
and the second will find the object created by the first thread.
2) res_sorcery_memory has had its create callback updated so that it
will not allow for objects with duplicate IDs to be created.

Sorcery is a unifying data access layer which provides a pluggable mechanism to allow
object creation, retrieval, updating, and deletion using different backends (or wizards).
This is a fancy way of saying "one interface to rule them all" where them is configuration,
realtime, and anything else that comes along.
