Two REMOVE_PROVIDER messages caused by race condition.
Fix a bug in unstable ContentProvider.
IllegalStateException: ref counts can't go to zero here: stable=0 unstable=0
IllegalStateException: unstable count < 0: -1
There is a race between main thread and background database thread. Main thread
is responsible for handling the REMOVE_PROVIDER message. Database thread starts
insert or query request again and again. acquireProvider in db thread will often
snatch provider from the jaws of death, sometime it fails to remove REMOVE_PROVIDER
which is already fired out from MessageQueue. But completeRemoveProvider in main
thread gets suspended when trying to execute the critical section. If db thread
released the provider before main thread resumes the execution, then two
REMOVE_PROVIDER messages will be executed.
