Resolve deadlock between SIP registration and channel based functions

In r373424, several reentrancy problems in chan_sip were addressed. As a
result, the SIP channel driver is now properly locking the channel driver
private information in certain operations that it wasn't previously. This
exposed two latent problems either in register_verify or by functions called
by register_verify. This includes:
 * Holding the private lock while calling sip_send_mwi_to_peer. This can create
   a new sip_pvt via sip_alloc, which will obtain the channel container lock.
   This is a locking inversion, as any channel related lock must be obtained
   prior to obtaining the SIP channel technology private lock.

   Note that this issue was already fixed in Asterisk 11.

 * Holding the private lock while calling sip_poke_peer. In the same vein as
   sip_send_mwi_to_peer, sip_poke_peer can create a new SIP private, causing
   the same locking inversion.

Note that this locking inversion typically occured when CLI commands were run
while a SIP REGISTER request was being processed, as many CLI commands (such
as 'sip show channels', 'core show channels', etc.) have to obtain the channel
container lock.
