Make L3 agent more responsive to RPC

Registered by Carl Baldwin

On agent restart, the L3 agent immediately kicks off a periodic task called
*_sync_routers_task*. This task grabs a semaphore which locks out the
*_rpc_loop* until it is done. This makes the L3 agent unresponsive to new work
coming in via RPC. Floating IPs need to wait to become active or inactive,
router gateways don't get plugged or unplugged, and subnet ports cannot be
manipulated. This gives a poor impression to a user who has just made an API
call to get something done.
