Hmm if this happens it means other threads are actually interfering
with cmd_sync queue which is something that is probably a bug since
the whole point of cmd_sync is to serialize the commands making it
easier to do more complex state updates (such accept+resolve list
updates), we could perhaps still apply this change as a workaround but
ultimately I think it would be better to add a mgmt-tester reproducing
the issue and have a proper fix of the code updating the list from a
different thread.
