There are some synchronization issues(amt->status, amt->req_cnt, etc)
if the interface is in gateway mode because gateway message handlers
are processed concurrently.
This applies a work queue for processing these messages instead of
expanding the locking context.
So, the purposes of this patch are to fix exist race conditions and to make
gateway to be able to validate a gateway status more correctly.
When the AMT gateway interface is created, it tries to establish to relay.
The establishment step looks stateless, but it should be managed well.
In order to handle messages in the gateway, it saves the current
status(i.e. AMT_STATUS_XXX).
This patch makes gateway code to be worked with a single thread.
Now, all messages except the multicast are triggered(received or
delay expired), and these messages will be stored in the event
queue(amt->events).
Then, the single worker processes stored messages asynchronously one
by one.
The multicast data message type will be still processed immediately.
Now, amt->lock is only needed to access the event queue(amt->events)
if an interface is the gateway mode.
