Fix mutex/condvar sleep when adding API msgs, VPP-461
Simply put, threads cannot sleep waiting for the vlib memory api main input queue to drain. If, say, thread i (i !=0) fills the vlib api main input queue with rpc requests - and then blocks trying to add another request - the game is over. RPCs attempt a barrier synchronization, which fails with Pr = {1.0} because thread i is in a mutex/condvar sleep. Add a main-thread cut-through path, which directly invokes the RPC callback function when called on the main thread.
