Public bug reported:

The L3-Agent  does not process some router update messages due to the
updates being overwritten due to missing thread synchronization. This
happens when a lot of FloatingIP and Router APIs are invoked.

The functions _rpc_loop and _sync_routers_task are annotated with
@lockutils.synchronized('l3-agent', 'neutron-'). This provides
concurrent access to the global variables updated_routers and
removed_routers.

However the same variables would be updated by the RPC methods such as
routers_updated, router_deleted etc.

As a temporary fix these methods could also be made synchronized, but
investigation is needed about a minor redesign to avoid using the global
variables to keep track of any updates.
