rrc: defer manipulations of the RLC/PDCP arrays

all calls that manipulate the RLC and/or PDCP arrays suffer
from a high deadlock risk if a PHY worker holds the RLC
AM Rx mutex at the same time when the stack wants to carry
out this reconfiguration.

this applies to RRC Reconfigs, but potentially also to RRC Connection
Reestablishment or even RRC Connection Setup, although this should
seldom be the case.

By breaking the call stack between RLC->PDCP->RRC->RCL and
carrying out the reconfig as a single task without holding the
RLC readlock the deadlock should not happen anymore.

This should fix issue #1593
