Deadlock between service OakDiscoveryService.unbindTopologyEventListener and OakViewChecker.discoveryLiteCheck

Issue

AEM6.2 is entirely stuck after installing a hotfix for deploying application bundles.  After capturing thread dumps and opening them in a thread dump analyzer (like http://fastthread.io or IBM Thread Analyzer), the thread analyzer reports a deadlock.  

The reported deadlock is between two threads like the ones below:

Thread [1] calls org.apache.sling.discovery.oak.OakDiscoveryService.unbindTopologyEventListener

Thread [2] calls org.apache.sling.discovery.oak.pinger.OakViewChecker.discoveryLiteCheck

Sometimes the deadlock can be a circular deadlock with a third thread involved.
