Move event cache updates into event processing thread.

Prior to this patch, updating the device state cache was done by the thread
that originated the event.  It would update the cache and then queue the event
up for another thread to dispatch.  This thread moves the cache updating part
to be in the same thread as event dispatching.

I was working with someone on a heavily loaded Asterisk system and while
reviewing backtraces of the system while it was having problems, I noticed that
there were a lot of threads contending for the lock on the event cache.  By
simply moving this into a single thread, this helped performance *a lot* and
alleviated some deadlock-like symptoms.
